Discussion

Systematic review reveals similar outcomes in length of stay and complications for IPOM and RM in hernia repair.

Postoperative outcomes for laparoscopic IPOM and robotic RM techniques are similar, indicating no significant differences.
Overall analysis shows comparable length of stay and complication rates with no statistically significant results for readmission.
Retrospective observational studies analyzing 1351 patients were included in the meta-analysis.
Future research is required to further explore these surgical techniques in small and medium-sized ventral hernias.

Sousa et al. (2025) studied this question.
