Summary

This study compared two ways to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall): traditional open surgery and robotic-assisted surgery. Fifty-six adults with midline hernias were randomly assigned to one method. Researchers looked at how long patients stayed in the hospital, pain, cosmetic results, satisfaction, and stress from surgery. The goal was to see which approach leads to better short- and long-term outcomes.
