Brief summary

The objective of this prospective, multi-center post-market study is to prospectively collect uniform, evidence based outcomes for patients undergoing open, laparoscopic or robotic assisted hernia repair. The outcomes that will be collected include various routine clinical parameters, short term patient reported outcomes (quality of life, pain scores) and long term hernia recurrence information. Patients will be treated according to standard of care at the surgeon's institution and patients will be followed up to collect information related to complications information and patient satisfaction associated with the hernia repair procedure.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of complications observed intraoperatively through 30 days30 daysNumber of intraoperative and short-term complications related to hernia repair.
Number of patient reported complications post 30-days through 3 years post procedure30 days post-procedure to 3 years post-procedureNumber of long-term complications related to hernia repair directly reported by patients

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient reported outcomes on Quality of Life through 1 yearPre-procedure (baseline) and 30 days through 1 year for Qualify of LifeUse of quality of life questionnaires (Carolinas Comfort Scale or HerQles Abdominal Questionnaire) will be used to assess patient qualify of life pre-procedure and post-procedure through 1 year.
Incisional or Inguinal Hernia Recurrence through 3 years30 days post-procedure through 3 yearsNumber of hernia recurrences for each patient will be patient reported through 3 years post-procedure.
Patient reported outcomes on post-procedure pain through 3 years2-4 weeks post-procedure through 3 years post-procedurePain medication taken by patient (type, dosage and quantity of pills) will also be captured through patient reported methods. Unit of measure will be numerical count of pills take
