NCT ID NCT07530159

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

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.
