This is a prospective, multi-center, observational pilot study comparing outcomes of pain and quality of life after inguinal hernia repair between open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgical approaches. The study will focus on short-term outcomes through 3 months post-operation. During the post-operative period through 3 months, pain medication intake, pill count, subject-reported pain (on post-operative days 1-3 and 14 days post-surgery), and quality of life (at 14 days, 30 days, and 3 months post-surgery), incidence of intra- and post-operative complications, and time to return to normal activity will be collected.
