Robotic vs Laparoscopic vs Open Ventral Hernia Repair: Insights from a Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
Laparoscopic and robotic techniques demonstrated similar efficacy in recurrence, seroma, and hematoma rates. Although open surgery remains a more cost-effective approach, it was associated with a higher risk of wound infections. Given these findings, the choice of surgical technique should be individualized based on patient-specific factors, surgeon expertise, and institutional resources to optimize both clinical and economic outcomes.
