Randomized trial to compare outcomes of robot-assisted and laparoscopic ventral hernia repair surgery.
Ventral hernia repair is a very common surgical operation. Both laparoscopic and robot-assisted operations are considered acceptable. However, there is no clear indication for a particular approach. No prospective trial has been conducted so far to establish superiority of one approach over the other. The Investigator believes each approach has unique characteristics and may offer advantages over the other in the right population group. The Investigator will randomly assign patients in two arms according to the surgical approach, whether laparoscopic or robot-assisted. The Investigator will collect preoperative characteristics, intraoperative variables, and postoperative outcomes. The Investigator will compare all variables to establish differences between the two groups.
