Study arms

  • Experimental
    OTTAVA Robotic System

    Participants scheduled to undergo a non-emergent inguinal hernia repair (IHR) procedure, and who meet all study eligibility criteria, will be enrolled to receive the IHR procedure with OTTAVA Robotic System. After the hospital discharge, participants will undergo follow-up visits according to the institution's standard of care and complete a final follow-up visit at 30 days post-procedure.

    Device: OTTAVA Robotic System

Interventions

  • DeviceOTTAVA Robotic System

    Participants will undergo the IHR procedure using OTTAVA Robotic System.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Achieving Procedure Completion Without Conversion

    Number of participants achieving procedure completion without conversion will be reported.

    Time frame: Intraoperative

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Intraoperative and Postoperative Device or Procedure-Related Complications Greater than or Equal to (>=) Clavien-Dindo Grade III through 30 Days Post-Procedure

    The Clavien-Dindo classification for surgical complications provides a standardized, reproducible means for describing surgical complications based on described therapy for treatment. Clavien-Dindo grade III complications include those complications that require surgical, endoscopic, or radiological intervention. The interventions that are not given under general anesthesia are grade III A and the interventions given under general anesthesia are grade III B complications.

    Time frame: Intraoperative through 30 days post-procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AE) through 30 Days Post-Procedure

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days post-procedure

  2. Total Operative Time

    Total procedure time is defined by the time taken for the procedure, that is, from skin incision to skin closure.

    Time frame: Intraoperative

  3. Number of Participants Needing Blood Transfusion

    Number of participants needing blood transfusions will be reported.

    Time frame: Intraoperative, Up to 30 days post-procedure

  4. Number of Units of Blood Transfusion

    Number of units of blood transfusion will be reported.

    Time frame: Intraoperative, Up to 30 days post-procedure

  5. Number of Participants Experiencing Device Malfunction

    Device malfunction is defined as a failure of an investigational medical device to perform in accordance with its intended purpose when used in accordance with the instructions for use or clinical investigation plan.

    Time frame: Intraoperative

  6. Length of Hospital Stay

    The length of hospital stay from the date of procedure until discharge will be reported.

    Time frame: Intraoperative, Up to 30 days post-procedure

  7. Number of Participants with Hospital Readmission

    Number of participants getting admitted to hospital again after discharge within 30 days post-procedure will be reported.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days post-procedure

  8. Number of Participants with Reoperations

    Number of participants with reoperations including any procedures performed within 30 days that are directly related to the index procedure will be reported.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days post-procedure

  9. Mortality

    Number of mortalities will be reported.

    Time frame: Intraoperative, Up to 30 days post-procedure
