Pain and quality of life outcomes following robotic and laparoscopic repair of small-mid sized ventral hernias: insights from the aspire india study

Key Points

• Quality of life outcomes improved significantly following robotic repair compared to laparoscopic methods.
• Patients reported lower pain scores, with a notable difference in recovery experiences at follow-up.
• Observational analysis across various institutions highlighted distinct advantages in robotic repairs for ventral hernias.
• These findings support using robotic techniques for better patient outcomes, though validation in broader settings remains essential.
