Study Summary

Stray energy transfer during laparoscopic surgery is recognized as a cause of potentially serious complications. This will be the first study to demonstrate clinical evidence of tissue injury due to stray energy transfer during robotic surgery. This information can then be used to define surgeon modifiable factors that can reduce the risk of patient injury. In addition, these data can guide the development of future robotic and laparoscopic platforms.

Primary Outcome

Samples will be taken at the time of surgery from each of the three ports and analyzed by a board certified pathologist to assess for injury on histologic level.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Laparoscopic robotic DaVinci assisted inguinal hernia repair
  • PROCEDURE Standard laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
