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.
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...
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...
BACKGROUND: Up to 37% of class three obesity patients have a Hiatal Hernia (HH). Most of the existent HHs get repaired at the time of bariatric surgery. Although the robotic platform might offer potential technical advantages over traditional laparos...

Diaphragmatic hiatal hernia is a potential complication of oesophagectomy in cancer patients. Over the past decades, laparoscopy has become the preferred approach to repairing this condition due to the reduced morbidity, faster recovery and shorter h...
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...
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...
