Robotic single-port surgery for belly hernias
This study tests a robotic single-port technique to repair primary belly hernias in the midline. It may help patients with less scarring and possibly a quicker recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have a primary hernia in the middle of your belly, either at the belly button or just above it.
- The hernia has not been repaired before and is the first you've had.
- You do not have a history of prostate surgery (if male), preperitoneal mesh for groin hernia, lower abdominal surgery, or a C-section.
- You are not pregnant and can safely receive general anesthesia.

This study tests the use of a robotic device to fix two hernias at once—one in the groin and one near the belly button. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who need both hernias repaired.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
