Robotic repair for two hernias at once
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older).
- You must have a groin hernia that has not been treated before.
- You must also have a belly button hernia larger than 1 cm.
- You cannot have had a previous groin hernia repair.
- You cannot have had prostate removal 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.
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 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.
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 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.
