Published Date: Mar 1, 2023

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The utilization of the robot for inguinal hernia repairs has increased in the past years. The new Da Vinci Single Port (SP) system provides the benefits of single-incision procedures and might overcome the technical difficulties of previous single-incision techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the SP transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (SP-TAPP) and compare its outcomes to the robotic multiport technique (MP-TAPP).
