Laparoscopic Versus Robot-assisted Inguinal Hernia Repair: The Immediate, Intermediate, and Long Term Outcome Differences. A Single Institution Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized trial to compare outcomes of laparoscopic and robot assisted inguinal hernia
repair.
repair.
Inguinal hernia repair is a very common surgical operation. Both laparoscopic and
robot-assisted operations are considered acceptable. However, there is no clear indication
for a particular approach. No prospective trial has been conducted so far to establish
superiority of one approach over the other. The Investigator believes each approach has
unique characteristics and may offer advantages over the other in the right population group.
The Investigator will randomly assign patients in two arms according to the surgical
approach, whether laparoscopic or robot-assisted. The Investigator will collect preoperative
characteristics, intraoperative variables, and postoperative outcomes. The Investigator will
compare all variables to establish differences between the two groups.
