Short-term Outcome and Inflammatory Stress Response Following Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair (TAPP) - A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing Laparoscopy to the Robotic-assisted Approach
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Robotic TAPP and Laparoscopic TAPP for Hernia, Inguinal and Laparoscopy. Completed, enrolled 150 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Robotic TAPP consists of four different procedures. Part 2 and 3 will be the same for both procedures and will consist of hernia reduction and preparation of the preperitoneal space where the mesh is placed (part 2), mesh placement and suturing of the peritoneum (part 3). Part 1 consists of docking of the robot and port placement and part 4 consists of de-docking and skin closure
Laparoscopic TAPP consists of four different procedures. Part 2 and 3 will be the same for both procedures and will consist of hernia reduction and preparation of the preperitoneal space where the mesh is placed (part 2), mesh placement and suturing of the peritoneum (part 3). Part 1 consists of port placement only and part 4 consists of skin closure only.
