Can a single robotic incision fix hernias with less pain and better looks?

This trial is testing a new robotic method for repairing ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall) using a single small incision above the pubic bone. The approach, called SP2 eTEP, uses the da Vinci Single Port system to place a mesh to strengthen the abdominal wall. Researchers will measure how long the surgery takes, any technical problems, and complication rates, as well as patients' quality of life and body image after the procedure. The study includes adults with certain types of midline hernias, with or without a separation of the abdominal muscles.
