BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a risk factor for inguinal hernia (IH). Furthermore, in patients who have undergone RARP, the fibrotic scar tissue in the RARP area limits preperitoneal dissection. This study aimed to evalua...
OBJECTIVE: To examine the short-term outcomes after laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) compared with robot-assisted retromuscular repair of small to medium-sized ventral hernia.
Surgical repair of primary umbilical and epigastric hernias are among the most common abdominal operations in the world. The hernia defects range from small (<1 cm) to large and complex even in the absence of prior incision or repair. Mesh has genera...
Traditional teaching suggests that prior pelvic operations, including prostatectomy, are a contraindication to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Despite the growing use of robotic platforms in inguinal hernia repair, there are few studies describi...
BACKGROUND: Mesh-reinforced ventral hernia repair is considered the gold standard treatment for all but the smallest of hernias. Human data on mesh shrinkage in the retrorectus mesh position is lacking. A prospective observational cohort study was pe...
Although 8 years have passed since the introduction of the da Vinci SP robotic system, rTEP surgery using the SP robot has never been introduced due to technical barriers. Through this study, we would like to share the possibility of safe and feasibl...
