Minimally invasive groin hernia repair
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a groin hernia (inguinal hernia) on one or both sides.
- This is your first hernia surgery (not a repeat after a previous repair).
- The hernia is not a type that cannot be pushed back into the belly (irreducible scrotal hernia).
- You have not had prostate surgery or open surgery in the lower belly.
- You are not pregnant and are healthy enough for general anaesthesia.

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 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 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 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 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 is a registry that collects health information from adults who have surgery for an inguinal or femoral groin hernia, whether planned or urgent, and whether it’s a first-time or recurrent hernia. It helps doctors better understand hernia care and outcomes for patients over time.
