Study Summary
Ventral hernias are a common disease and one half of all individuals are born with or will acquire a ventral hernia in their lifetime. Repair of ventral hernias may be associated with significant morbidity, including surgical site infection, hernia recurrence and reoperation. Minimally invasive ventral hernia repair decreases rates of surgical site infection and hospital length of stay, without affecting recurrence, however the laparoscopic approach to ventral hernia repair accounts for only about 1/3 of all total hernia repairs performed in the US. Recent large database studies have suggested that robotic ventral hernia repair may be associated with decreased hospital length of stay. However, this study is affected by common biases of database studies and randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the true impact of robotics for ventral hernia repair.
