Metachronous reoperation for recurrent and non-recurrent inguinal hernia after primary unilateral inguinal hernia repair: propensity score matched analysis of large US claims database
The current study demonstrates that robotic IHR is associated with a lower risk of reoperations at 2 years after an initial repair as compared to L-IHR and O-IHR, but higher index expenditure in the outpatient setting for an economically active population.
