Robotic inguinal hernia repair

Jose E Escobar Dominguez et al. J Surg Oncol. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Inguinal hernias have been described throughout the history of medicine with many efforts to achieve the cure. Currently, with the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, new questions arise: what is going to be the best approach for inguinal hernia repair? Is there a real benefit with the robotic approach? Should minimally invasive hernia surgery be the standard of care? In this report we address these questions by describing our experience with robotic inguinal hernia repair.

Keywords: robotic TAPP; robotic hernioplasty; robotic herniorrhaphy.
