Robotic system for inguinal hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled for a first-time inguinal hernia repair (elective, not emergency).
- Your health status is rated as ASA I, II, or III (mild to severe but not incapacitating).
- You weigh less than 500 pounds.
- You have not had minimally invasive surgery for a hernia on the same side before.
- You have not had your prostate removed or pelvic radiation, and your hernia does not extend into your scrotum.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests new force feedback instruments in the da Vinci 5 robot during surgery. It aims to see if they help surgeons perform procedures more precisely for conditions like cancer or other diseases.
This trial compares robotic surgery versus the standard open approach to repair a ventral hernia. It may help determine which method works best and is safer or easier for the right patients.
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.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted device called Versius can be used safely and effectively for inguinal hernia repair surgery. If you are already scheduled for minimally invasive hernia repair, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new robotic system called Anovo for repairing ventral hernias. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for this type of surgery.
