What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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.

Summary

This study is testing the DEXTER robotic system for repairing inguinal hernias. Researchers will enroll 140 adults who need hernia surgery and use the robot to assist. The goal is to see if the device works safely and effectively in real-world conditions, without needing to switch to other surgical methods.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
DEXTER robotic surgery system
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the DEXTER robot is a safe and effective tool for routine hernia repair, offering a precise minimally invasive option.
What could go wrong
This is an observational post-market study, not a randomized trial, so results may not prove superiority over other methods. Risks include typical surgical complications like infection or injury.
