Objective

This is a randomized trial comparing open retromuscular ventral hernia repair to robotic retromuscular ventral hernia repair.

Description

This is a randomized trial comparing open retromuscular ventral hernia repair to robotic retromuscular ventral hernia repair. This is a superiority trial with a primary outcome of length of stay in the hospital, theorizing that robotic retromuscular ventral hernia repairs are superior to open ventral hernia repairs by reducing length of stay by 24 hours. Patients will be blinded to the intervention, groups will be in parallel, and the primary outcome (when the patient is discharged) will be determined by a blinded assessor.
