Details and patient eligibility
About
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the progression of surgeon efficiency and proficiency of traditionally open or laparoscopic surgeons performing robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair throughout their learning curve.
Full description
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational pilot study evaluating surgeon efficiency and proficiency of traditionally open or laparoscopic surgeons performing robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair. The study will focus on surgeon intraoperative efficiency and technical performance outcomes as well as conversions, intraoperative complications, and mental and cognitive workload. Surgeon subjects will be assessed for technical proficiency through a study specific technical proficiency form and the GEARS scale by independent surgeons.
