First Report of Single-Surgeon Single-Incision Laparoscopic Percutaneous Extraperitoneal Closure Using the Senhance Robotic System as Camera Holder for Pediatric Inguinal Hernia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Single-incision laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (SILPEC) is used for pediatric inguinal hernia repair in several institutions. However, SILPEC requires at least two operators. We report the first SILPEC performed by a single surgeon using the Senhance robotic system for pediatric patients. The Senhance, which features reusable 3- to 5-mm instruments and tremor filtering, allows both eye-tracked and manually adjustable camera control via a standalone robotic arm, resulting in stable, assistant-free visualization while preserving the small port philosophy. Two pediatric patients with inguinal hernia underwent SILPEC. The laparoscope was mounted on one robotic arm, and a 3-mm curved grasper was manipulated manually through the same incision. Operative times were 71 and 77 min, without blood loss, conversions, or perioperative complications. Both patients remained recurrence-free. This report demonstrates the feasibility, safety, procedural efficiency, and potential cost-effectiveness of single-surgeon robotic assisted SILPEC, thus offering a pragmatic solution for understaffed pediatric surgical units.
