Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult subjects (age ≥ 22 years) as required by local law
* Subject has been indicated for one of the following hernia repairs: (a.) primary or incisional ventral hernia(s). Multiple small hernia defects are allowed with total distance of combined defects being \< 10cm (b.) inguinal (unilateral or bilateral) hernia(s).
* Subject is an acceptable candidate for a fully robotic assisted surgical procedure, a laparoscopic surgical procedure, or an open surgical procedure
* The subject is willing to participate and consents to participate, as documented by a signed and dated informed consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients for which minimally invasive surgery is contraindicated as determined by the Investigator
* Patients with a recurrent hernia
* Subjects with femoral hernia defects
* Subjects with ventral hernia defect(s) located in M1, M5, or L4
* Patients with emergent hernia repair
* Ventral hernia is CDC (Center for Disease Control) grade 2 or higher
* Use of component separation techniques to close the hernia defect
* Inability to close the hernia defect
* Hernia defect is ≥ 10 cm
* Patient has BMI \> 40
* Patients with comorbidities or medical characteristics, which would preclude the surgical procedure in the opinion of the Investigator
* Patients diagnosed with a bleeding disorder and/or cannot be removed from their anticoagulants prior to surgery based on surgeon discretion and standard-of-care
* Female patients pregnant at the time of the su…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
