This study evaluates a new surgical technique called single-port robotic suprapubic inguinal hernia repair (SPIN) for treating inguinal hernias. The procedure uses a single robotic port placed above the pubic bone, aiming to minimize incisions and improve outcomes. Researchers wi…

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. Researcher…

This trial is evaluating a new surgical technique that uses a robotic system to repair both an inguinal hernia and an umbilical hernia through a single small incision at the belly button. The study will include 30 adults with both types of hernias. Researchers will measure how we…

This trial compares two minimally invasive ways to fix an inguinal hernia: robot-assisted surgery versus conventional laparoscopic surgery. It also tests whether injecting local anesthetic into the small incisions helps patients recover faster. The study includes 200 adults with …

This study tests whether a wearable device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can help people with long-term, hard-to-treat low back pain. Adults aged 30 to 60 with moderate to severe pain for over six months will either receive standard care alone or standard care plus th…
