Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare 3D-laparoscopy versus 2D-laparoscopy with the use of HD resolution in inguinal hernia repair in terms of error rating, performance time and subjective assessment.
Detailed Description
Experimental studies have shown that even experienced surgeons gain from stereoscopy when solving both easy and complex tasks. Inguinal hernia repair is a specialist operation and the large flow makes this type of operation suitable for exploring any advantage of three-dimensional laparoscopy for the experienced surgeon.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients scheduled for elective inguinal hernia repair (out-patient treatment)
Exclusion Criteria
- •Previous lower abdominal surgery
- •ASA-score 3 or above
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of errors during the dissection of the hernia sac
Time Frame: Expected duration: 20 minutes
The unedited videos of the operations will be assessed according to GERT (Generic Error Rating Tool) by three surgeons, blinded to which optical modalities is used during the operations as done in a previous pilot study.
Secondary Outcomes
- Intraoperative complications(intraoperative, expected duration of surgery: 1 hour)
- Duration of the dissection of the hernia sac.(Expected duration: 20 minutes)
- Duration of surgery(Expected duration: 1 hour)
- The need for conversion to open surgery(intraoperative, expected duration of surgery: 1 hour)
- Assessment of fatigue and perceived exertion(an expected average of 15 minutes before and after the operation)
- Evaluation of the optical modality and mental load assessment(an expected average of 15 minutes after the operation)
- Estimated blood loss in ml(intraoperative, expected duration of surgery: 1 hour)
