Brief Summary

The goal of this observational cohort study is to evaluate the evolution of the operative time in performing robotic assisted laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP) during the learning curve of the first 50 patients using the HugoTM Ras (Medtronic) robotic system using the setup guide. Researchers will compare to the operative time for rTAPP of 50 patients by the same surgeon in another hospital using the daVinci Xi (Intuitive Surgical) robotic system.
