Observational Study of Robotic Minimally Invasive Inguinal Hernia Repair with DEXTER Robotic System

This observational study is looking at how well the DEXTER robotic surgery system works for minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair (a surgery to fix a bulge in your groin area). The study aims to collect information on how the DEXTER system performs in real-world use for people needing this type of hernia repair. You may be able to join if you are at least 22 years old and are scheduled to have robot-assisted or laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia. Researchers will look at the safety of the DEXTER system up to 30 days after surgery and how effective it is during the operation itself. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 140 participants.
