Abstract
BACKGROUND: As in many other fields of surgery, robotically assisted surgical procedures have been established in the treatment of ventral hernias in recent years. The use of the robot can combine the demands of a minimally invasive approach and retromuscular mesh placement. In addition to a transabdominal approach, these procedures can also be performed using an extraperitoneal approach.
