Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates on the effect of two different operative techniques to treat large abdominal wall defects. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the minimally-invasive, robotically-assisted ventral hernia repair (RVHR) leads to a better outcome than the open ventral hernia repair (OVHR). The main questions it aims to answer are: length of stay after the operation rate of complications rate of recurrence and reoperations quality of life. Participants will: Either be operated using the RVHR or OVHR will be followed up either in person or via email / phone call at day 7, day 30, 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years after the surgery to asses the above-stated main and some more outcomes.
