Robotic Utility for Surgical Treatment of Groin Hernias

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is the measurement of the evolution of the operation time during the start-up phase of robotic-assisted surgery for the treatment of inguinal hernia`s of 50 patients treated in Maria Middelares in laparoscopic rTAPP technique.

Clinical Trial Description

Minimally invasive hernia repair by laparoscopy is the standard treatment in adult patients in Maria Middelares, Ghent. A previously conducted study demonstrated that the symptoms of patients with inguinal hernias (verified via EuraHS Quality of Life score) can be effectively treated and the technique has a low recurrence rate and low frequency of long-term side effects.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has become standard in urology for resection of the prostate carcinoma. In general abdominal surgery, a large group of surgeons are currently working on the introduction of robotic-assisted surgery for resection of colon and rectal cancer in their daily practice. The third generation robot (DaVinci Xi), has extended the applicability of this technology within the field of general surgery.

For the surgical treatment of hernia's and other abdominal wall defects (umbilical or/and incisional hernia's), currently only surgeons in the US have experiences in structured treatment programs.

From September 1, 2016 Maria Middelares hospital will introduce robot-assisted surgery, including the laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair.

Main obstacles to the introduction of robot technology in abdominal wall surgery are prolonged preparation time in the operating room required for installation of the robot, and higher material costs related to the robot-assisted surgery. However, there are few precise data available on the exact size of extra time or increased costs related to the introduction of robotic assisted surgery in a program for abdominal surgery.

The purpose of this study is the measurement of the evolution of the operation time during the start-up phase of robotic-assisted surgery for the treatment of inguinal hernias by 50 patients in Maria Middelares hospital. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
