METHODS:
hernia
This study investigated the differences in direct costs from the data
generated from a trial protocol (ReBEC: RBR-5s6mnrf). Patients with
incisional hernia were randomly assigned to receive laparoscopic ventral
incisional hernia repair (LVIHR) or robotic ventral incisional hernia repair
(RVIHR). The direct medical costs of hernia treatment were described in the
Brazilian currency (R$).
