Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Operative time
Total operative time from skin incision to skin closure
Technical errors with the robotic system
Number and type of technical errors or device-related issues encountered during the procedure.
Complication Rate
Intraoperative, in-hospital and postoperative complications classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification
Secondary outcomes
EuraHS Quality of Life score
Patient-reported quality of life assessed using the European Registry for Abdominal Wall Hernias Quality of Life (EuraHS-QoL) Questionnaire, a validated instrument evaluating pain at the hernia site, restriction of activities, and cosmetic discomfort. The total EuraHS-QoL score ranges from 0 to 90, with lower scores indicating better quality of life and less symptom burden, and higher scores indicating worse quality of life and greater symptom burden.
Body Image Questionnaire Score
Patient-reported body image assessed using the Body Image Questionnaire. The questionnaire evaluates patient satisfaction with physical appearance and cosmetic outcomes
hernia recurrence
Presence of recurrent hernia assessed clinically and confirmed by ultrasound when clinically indicated.
