Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
On the other hand, the benefits of robot-assisted repair are less obvious compared to conventional laparoscopy. Many robot-trained surgeons are in favor of robot-assisted repair, but current literature is still inconclusive about the economic feasibility of robot-assisted groin hernia repair as standard of care.
This retrospective observational study is primarily designed to analyze the additional cost of robot-assisted groin hernia repair compared to conventional laparoscopic repair. A cost-benefit analysis will be carried out for groin hernia repairs performed by the same surgeon (Dr. Filip Muysoms) in the period 2016-2019.
As primary endpoint, direct costs related to the introduction of robot-assisted groin hernia repair will be analyzed. These are: material costs, costs related to hospital stay, honoraria and costs related to intrahospital complications. A comparison will be made between conventional laparoscopic and robot-assisted groin hernia repair.
As secondary endpoint, indirect costs will be compared between both groups. These include costs related to late complications and readmissions related to the index operation.
