Implication

Systematic review evaluates cost-effectiveness and postoperative outcomes between robotic and laparoscopic techniques.

Key Points

  • Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is more cost-effective than robotic repair, as shown by a standardized mean difference of 0.78.
  • No significant difference was found in operation duration, postoperative pain scores, or complications between the two groups.
  • Analysis included three RCTs, encompassing 239 adult patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair procedures.
  • Further validation through larger, high-quality multicenter RCTs is necessary to confirm these findings.
