Observational Study of Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Inguinal Hernia Repair Using the DEXTER System

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the use of the DEXTER robotic system for minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair in adults aged 22 and older. This observational study aims to collect real-world data on how well the robotic system performs across different patient groups and disease types. The goal is to confirm that the system works as intended during typical clinical use. Participants will undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for either unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia repair using the DEXTER robotic surgery system. The study is post-market, meaning it observes the device in normal medical practice rather than testing it experimentally. Data will be collected during the surgery and for up to 30 days afterward to assess safety and effectiveness. During the study, participants will be monitored for surgical outcomes and any safety issues for up to 30 days after their surgery. Researchers will assess the procedure itself during the operation and track safety outcomes afterward. Participants must be able and willing to follow study requirements and provide informed consent. The total study period extends through 2029, allowing for long-term data collection and analysis.
