Robotic Assisted vs. Laparoscopic Hybrid IPOM Ventral Hernia Repair: a Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Postoperative Outcomes
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) may be associated with chronic pain, seroma formation, bulging and failure to restore abdominal wall function. These outcomes are risk factors for hernia recurrence and poor quality of life (QoL). Our study evaluates whether robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair (rVHR) diminish these complications compared to LVHR with primary closure of the defect (hybrid).
