Summary

This study looks at three ways to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall): open surgery, laparoscopic (keyhole), and robotic surgery. Researchers will track 120 patients to see which method leads to the shortest hospital stay, fewest complications, and best quality of life, while also comparing costs. The goal is to help doctors and hospitals choose the most effective and affordable approach.

Active substance: polypropylene mesh
What this could lead to: If successful, this study could help hospitals choose the most cost-effective surgical approach for ventral hernia repair, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection. It is also limited to a specific hernia type and size, so findings may not apply to all patients.
