A Real-World Experience of the Short-Term Clinical Outcomes of Laparoscopic and Robotic-Assisted Ventral Hernia Repairs

Cureus Published 30 March 2025

This study aims to provide the first comparative real-world evidence of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted ventral hernia repairs performed in India, regardless of defect size or technique used.

The primary objective was to compare postoperative pain, analgesic use, and quality of life (QOL) between the two groups. Additionally, data on length of hospital stay, operating time, incidence of intra- and postoperative complications, re-admission rates, and use of tacks were collected and analyzed. In real-world Indian settings, this study demonstrates the feasibility of robotic-assisted ventral hernia repairs, regardless of defect size or technique used.
