NCT ID NCT07544238
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 400 adults who are scheduled for minimally invasive hernia repair (using laparoscopy or a robot) to see how well the surgery works over 5 years. Researchers will check for hernia recurrence, complications, pain, and quality of life. Participants get standard care and extra follow-up visits, including a CT scan at one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- minimally invasive hernia repair (laparoscopic or robotic surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help surgeons understand which patients benefit most from minimally invasive hernia repair and improve long-term outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a test of a new treatment. It simply follows standard care, so it won't directly lead to a cure or new therapy. Results may not apply to all hernia types.
