Ventral or Inguinal Hernia, Robotically Repaired With OviTex Mesh

This study is tracking outcomes for patients having robotic hernia repair surgery using OviTex mesh — a reinforcement material made from a combination of synthetic fibers and processed sheep tissue. Both ventral hernias (in the abdominal wall) and inguinal hernias (in the groin) are included. Hernias occur when tissue or organs push through a weak point in muscle, and mesh is commonly used to strengthen the repair and lower the risk of recurrence. The study collects information about pain levels, quality of life, and whether the hernia returns over a two-year follow-up period. This real-world data helps surgeons understand how OviTex performs in a variety of patients. You may be eligible if: - You are 21 years or older - You have a ventral or inguinal hernia requiring surgical repair with an implant - You are scheduled for elective robotic hernia repair using OviTex mesh - Your wound is classified as clean or only mildly contaminated You may NOT be eligible if: - Your BMI is over 40 - Your wound is classified as dirty or infected - You have a strangulated hernia - You are pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study - You have an allergy to sheep-derived (ovine) products - Your life expectancy is less than 2 years Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
