Robotic hernia repair using OviTex implant mesh
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using a specific implant “mesh” (OviTex) during robotic hernia surgery helps patients heal well and report less pain and better quality of life over time. It may be an option if you have a ventral or inguinal hernia planned for elective robotic repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a ventral or inguinal hernia that needs surgery with an implant to reinforce or replace weakened tissue
- Your surgery is planned as an elective robotic hernia repair using one of the listed OviTex implant options
- The needed implant size is within the study’s limits (larger allowed for one specific implant type)
- Your wound is expected to be clean, clean-contaminated, or contaminated (not dirty-infected)
- You are age 21 or older and can sign consent and complete pain and quality-of-life questionnaires
- You can return for follow-up visits for the full study period (about two years)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new robotic system (called OTTAVA) for repairing inguinal hernias. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well, potentially offering a less invasive option for surgery.
This study compares two types of surgical mesh—one made from animal tissue and one synthetic—to see which causes less pain after laparoscopic hernia repair. You'd be eligible if you have a hernia on one side causing pain and another hernia on the opposite side that isn't causing symptoms, and you're willing to have both repaired in the same surgery.
This trial tests a special mesh (OviTex) used during hiatal hernia repair to see how well it helps the hernia stay closed. It may be a good option if you are having a robotic or laparoscopic hernia repair and do not smoke or have a very high BMI.
This trial compares a biological mesh made from sheep tissue (OviTex) with a standard synthetic mesh for repairing pelvic organ prolapse during robotic surgery. It aims to see which one works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial compares two ways to repair medium to large ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall): open surgery (with a cut) versus robotic-assisted surgery (using small tools and a camera). The goal is to see if the robotic approach leads to better recovery.
This study tests a robotic system for fixing groin hernias (inguinal hernias) using small incisions. It is for adults scheduled for hernia repair surgery who want to see how well the robot helps.
