Clinical Trial Summary

The present study seeks to determine whether improved visual acuity and enhanced flexibility of the robotic platform results in a reduced surgical stress response and an improvement in indices of surgical outcome measures for simple and complex inguinal hernia repair


Clinical Trial Description

Complex inguinal hernia repair is challenging and requires both advanced skills in laparoscopic surgery and knowledge about the complex anatomy of the inguinal area. Whereas the repair of a small inguinal hernia usually is simple and straightforward, complex hernias (large inguinoscrotal and recurrent hernias) constitute a surgical challenge due to the risk of damage of the neurovascular structures in the inguinal area. It requires advanced laparoscopic skills to reduce the hernial sac in patients with large lateral hernias, where the hernial sac often extends deep into the scrotum in close vicinity to the spermatic cord and the testicular artery. This dissection is difficult with conventional laparoscopy, which may explain the risk of chronic pain, testicular hypotrophy and hernia recurrence. The aim of the study is to determine whether rTAPP of complex inguinal hernias is associated with a lower surgical stress response and a lower risk of postoperative complications compared to laparoscopic TAPP. ;
