In this review, the advantages of the robotic platform in rTAPP are presented and discussed. Against the background of the unchanged results of conventional TAPP for decades (approx. 10% chronic pain and approx. 3.5% recurrence), a new anatomy-guided...
Inguinal hernias are one of the most common surgical pathologies faced by the general surgeon in modern medicine. The cumulative incidence of an inguinal hernia is around 25% in men and 3% in women. The majority of inguinal hernias can be repaired mi...

INTRODUCTION: Robotic-assisted surgery has been a part of surgical procedures for more than two decades. Recently new robotic platforms with a different design entered the market. The modular design with independent arms enables increased flexibility...
BACKGROUND: Automation of surgical phase recognition is a key effort toward the development of Computer Vision (CV) algorithms, for workflow optimization and video-based assessment. CV is a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows interpretat...
PURPOSE: Patients who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) may present concurrent or secondary inguinal hernia (IH). Surgical repair of IH simultaneously with RARP has been reported. We aimed to assess the long-term effica...
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the safety and short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair for inguinal hernia in 12 pioneering hospitals in Japan.

PURPOSE: The objective of this retrospective study was to assess safety and comparative clinical effectiveness of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) and robot-assisted inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) from multi-institutional experience in Taiwa...
BACKGROUND: Trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) hernia repair is a complex procedure that presents several challenges. Even though, due to the high prevalence of inguinal hernia, TAPP technique is increasing in frequency and robotic Abdominal Wall ...
OBJECTIVES: Patients with inguinal hernia (IH) may have voiding dysfunction and weak urethra-stabilizing periurethral fascial tissues, contributing to urinary incontinence. This study aimed to review the association between IH and urinary continence ...
