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
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 Results may not be published yet.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 This study
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares two surgical methods for repairing large abdominal hernias: robotic-assisted surgery and traditional open surgery. The goal is to see if the robotic approach leads to shorter hospital stays and fewer complications. Adults with wide ventral incisional hernias (over 8 cm) may participate. The study randomly assigns participants to one of the two procedures and tracks outcomes like recovery time and surgical complications.

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 (rTAR) compared to open surgery (oTAR) for hernia repair
What this could lead to
If robotic surgery proves better, it could shorten hospital stays and reduce wound complications for people with large hernias.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial, and robotic surgery may not always be feasible or superior. There are risks of conversion to open surgery and surgical complications.

Study facts

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

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.

Expected to start

Jul 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2033

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.

Who can take part

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