Open Versus Robotic-assisted Ventral Hernia Repair, Short and Long-term Outcome

NCT05906017 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 56

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this randomized clinical trial, the investigators will compare the conventional open repair for hernia in the anterior abdominal wall with the robotic-assisted approach. 60 patients with midline abdominal wall defects will be randomized to either open or robotic-assisted surgery. The investigators will examine short and long-term complications through follow-up with clinical assessment as well as patient-reported outcome measures including pain, cosmetic appearance, and overall patient satisfaction. Furthermore, the investigators will study the difference in surgical stress response between the two methods measured from a variety of different biomarkers before and after the operation. A cost-effective analysis will be conducted for the robotic and open procedure.
