Study Summary
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed general surgery operations. However, to date, the ideal surgical approach for inguinal hernia surgery. The investigators therefore, propose a randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery repair to robotic inguinal hernia repair surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the robotic approach to inguinal hernia repair will result in improved post-operative outcomes compared to traditional laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs. Specific Aim #1: To determine if the robotic approach will result in a significant reduction in postoperative pain and earlier return to full function when compared to a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Specific Aim #2: To perform a cost analysis to determine the financial implications of performing a robotic versus a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Specific Aim #3: To determine the effect of surgeon reported ergonomics when performing laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repairs. Specific Aim #4: Evaluate the long term hernia recurrence rates associated with laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repairs.
