In the researchers' words
The material cost for robotic groin hernia repair is higher than for conventional laparoscopic surgery. In this study, this amount will be quantified and possible differences in early postoperative course, hospital stay and readmission rate that could influence the cost/benefit ratio for robotic groin hernia surgery will be analyzed.
