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.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 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 well the procedure works, including surgery time, complications, and patient-reported outcomes like quality of life and body image.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Robotic single-port surgery using the da Vinci SP system to repair inguinal and umbilical hernias through a single umbilical access site.
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could offer a less invasive way to repair two hernias at once, potentially leading to less pain, faster recovery, and better cosmetic results.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on technical feasibility and safety. The robotic system may have technical issues, and the approach may not prove better than standard surgery.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
