What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

Summary

This study compares two types of surgery for ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall) in 200 adults. One group gets robotic-assisted surgery, the other gets traditional open surgery. The main goal is to see which approach leads to a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Participants

About 200 people

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

Started

Jul 2022

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
