About this trial

The goal of this observational cohort study is to evaluate the evolution of the operative time in performing robotic assisted laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP) during the learning curve of the first 50 patients using the HugoTM Ras (Medtronic) robotic system using the setup guide.

Researchers will compare to the operative time for rTAPP of 50 patients by the same surgeon in another hospital using the daVinci Xi (Intuitive Surgical) robotic system.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Operative times

Comparison of operative times for rTAPP

Time frame
Minutes, up to 4 hours

Secondary outcomes

1

Short-term complications

Evaluation of short term complications

Time frame
until 30 days after the surgical procedure
2

Quality of Life (QoL) one month after surgery

Evaluation of quality of life 1 month after surgery, using the EuraHS Quality of Life questionnaire, a lower score means a better quality of life

Time frame
until 30 days after the surgical procedure
