Three-point mesh fixation in robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) repair of 208 inguinal hernias: preliminary results of a single-center consecutive series.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of our mesh fixation technique in robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (R-TAPP). The primary outcome was the recurrence rate. Secondary outcomes were postoperativ...

Incidental finding of a congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens during robotic inguinal hernia repair: missing a crucial landmark. A case report.

Acta chirurgica Belgica
INTRODUCTION: We report on a case of congenital unilateral atresia of the vas deferens encountered during a robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.

A case of direct inguinal hernia incarceration after transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
In this study, we report a case of incarcerated direct inguinal hernia (DIH) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in a patient with concomitant DIH. The 71-year-old man underwent RARP. Six days later, he developed a right DIH incarcerati...

Learning curve of robotic inguinal hernia repair in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon: a comparative study.

Journal of robotic surgery
BACKGROUND: Since its introduction, robotic surgery has been utilized in different types of surgeries over various specialties. However, studies done thus far comparing robotic (Rob. IHR) and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (Lap. IHR) yielded con...

Spin is present in the majority of articles evaluating robot-assisted groin hernia repair: a systematic review.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The number of scientific articles published each year is increasing, resulting in greater competition to get work published. Spin is defined as specific reporting strategies used to distort the readers' interpretation of results so that t...

Does adoption of new technology increase surgical volume? The robotic inguinal hernia repair model.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic Inguinal Hernia repair has been associated with higher costs but shorter length of stay. Robotic surgery is an appealing option for patients undergoing elective hernia surgery however given the high startup, maintenance and operating costs, t...

Strategy for laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is nowadays being performed worldwide, and inguinal hernia (IH) continues to be a common complication of radical prostatectomy. Laparoscopic repair of IH is often difficult via internal dissec...

Initial Experience with Robotic Inguinal Hernia Repair in the Adolescent Population.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
There is no one standard procedure encompassing the needs and differences of the entire pediatric population for inguinal hernia repair (IHR). Several techniques can be used, including open repair, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic rep...

Learning curve of robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (rTAPP) inguinal hernia repair: a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP-IHR) is a safe and feasible approach for hernias of varying etiology. We aim to present a single surgeon's learning curve (LC) of this technique based on operative ...
