Journal: Journal of the American College of Surgeons
Published Date: Jul 1, 2020

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robotics offers improved ergonomics, visualization, instrument articulation, and tremor filtration. Disadvantages include startup cost and system breakdown. Surgeon education notwithstanding, we hypothesize that robotic inguinal hernia repair carries minimal advantages over the laparoscopic or open approach.
