About this study
Official title: Laparoscopic Versus Robot-assisted Inguinal Hernia Repair: The Immediate, Intermediate, and Long Term Outcome Differences. A Single Institution Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized trial to compare outcomes of laparoscopic and robot assisted inguinal hernia repair.
Read the detailed description
Inguinal 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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
laparoscopic repairProcedure or surgery
Surgical inguinal hernia repair using laparoscopic approach.
robot-assisted repairProcedure or surgery
Surgical inguinal hernia repair using robot-assisted approach.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| laparoscopic | Active comparator | laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair Receives: Procedure: laparoscopic repair |
| robot-assisted | Active comparator | robot-assisted inguinal hernia repair Receives: Procedure: robot-assisted repair |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Operative time
Time from start to finish of procedure, procedure start and stop times as recorded by anesthesia.
Measured: Immediate perioperative time
Secondary outcomes (1)
Postoperative pain score
Abdominal pain at rest and on moving (recumbent to the upright position), will be assessed using 0-10 Numeric Pain Rating Scale preoperatively (baseline), and at 24 hours, 30 days, one and five years postoperatively.
Measured: Until 5 year postoperative

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Operative time (time frame: Immediate perioperative time). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
