Prospective Study of Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic and Robotic) Hernia Repair (Incisional and Primary, Midline and Lateral, Not Inguinal)

The participating researchers register all adult patients (who have given informed written consent) scheduled for elective repair of an abdominal wall hernia (NOT inguinal hernias) via minimally invasive operation technique (i.e.: laparoscopy or robotic repair) and perform a follow up of 5 years to analyze clinical outcome parameters. These parameters include recurrence of the hernia, intra- and postoperative complications, quality of live, esthetic outcome and pain. The patients will be reviewed in person by the participating researchers at 2-3 moths, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years after surgery. A computed tomography will be performed at 1 year after surgery and in case of suspicion of complications, for example hernia recurrence. The treatment and follow-up of the participating patients does not differ from the standard treatment protocol (and the not participating patients).
