Robot vs standard keyhole surgery for double groin hernia
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing keyhole surgery for hernias in the groin: the usual laparoscopic approach versus a robot-assisted approach. It may help show which method is safer or more effective for people with hernias on both sides.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (18 years or older).
- You have hernias on both sides of the groin planned for laparoscopic (keyhole) repair.
- Your surgery plan must be minimally invasive (laparoscopic), not an open surgery.
- Your hernia is not trapped (not incarcerated).
- You agree to join the study (informed consent), are not pregnant, and you’re not in another research study.

This trial compares two ways to repair a hernia in children: laparoscopic surgery (using a small camera) and open surgery (a traditional cut). It aims to see which is more effective and cost-effective.
This trial compares open and laparoscopic surgery for fixing groin hernias in men. It aims to find which method works better for patients who can have either type.
This trial looks at whether keeping the round ligament (a ligament in the groin area) during hernia surgery leads to better outcomes for women. If you are a woman between 18 and 70 with a groin hernia and are having a specific type of laparoscopic surgery (TAPP), you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of keyhole surgery to fix inguinal hernias in children. It is looking for kids with a straightforward hernia that hasn't been treated before.
This trial tests a newer surgical technique called TREPP to repair inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin area). The approach may reduce pain and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
This study tests a minimally invasive (small incision) surgery to repair a groin hernia. The goal is to see if the approach is effective and helps you recover quickly.
