What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares how long it takes to perform robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair using two different robotic systems. It will look at the first 50 patients treated with one system and compare their operative times to those from a similar group treated with another system by the same surgeon. The goal is to see if one system offers a shorter learning curve or faster surgery, while also tracking short-term complications and quality of life one month after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
robot-assisted laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP) using two different robotic systems
What this could lead to
If one robotic system proves faster or safer, it could guide hospitals in choosing equipment for hernia surgery, potentially improving efficiency and patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by surgeon experience and other factors. It does not test a new treatment, so it may not lead to direct changes in care.
