In the researchers' words

This trial will compare laparoscopic and robotic-assisted abdominal hernia repairs, using the Versius® system. We will initially aim to recruit 60 patients (20 patients in the laparoscopic arm and 40 in the robotic arm) in order to assess the ergonomic impact of each modality on the operating surgeon. This aims to provide in vivo information on whether robotic surgery provides any advantages to the operating surgeon. This trial will also be used to assess the feasibility of recruitment to a future larger study, and any data collected will be used as pilot data.
