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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compared two types of minimally invasive surgery for fixing inguinal hernias: robotic-assisted and standard laparoscopic. 150 adults were randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal was to see if the robot's better vision and flexibility reduce the body's stress response and improve recovery. Researchers measured blood markers of inflammation and other outcomes like blood loss and hospital stay.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Robotic-assisted surgery
What this could lead to
If the robotic approach reduces surgical stress and speeds recovery, it could become a preferred option for inguinal hernia repair.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial comparing two surgical techniques. The robot may not show meaningful benefits over standard laparoscopy, and results may not apply to all hernia types or patients.
