In the researchers' words
The goal of this observational cohort study is to evaluate the evolution of the operative time in performing robotic-assisted laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP) during the learning curve of the first 50 patients using the HugoTM Ras (Medtronic) robotic system using the setup guide. This will be compared to the operative time for rTAPP in 50 patients performed by the same surgeon in another hospital. This data was collected in an earlier similar study with the start of the experience using the daVinci Xi (Intuitive Surgical) robotic system.
