Single-port robotic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair using a floating docking technique with the da Vinci SP system: feasibility across a spectrum of hernia complexity
The da Vinci SP system is applied to totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair, but clinical data remain limited. Full wrist articulation requires the instruments to extend beyond the cannula tip, which the preperitoneal space is too shallow to accommodate intracorporeally. We report a single-surgeon series...
