TL;DR
Current evidence does not demonstrate consistent superiority in clinical outcomes compared to laparoscopic repair, and future efforts should focus on long-term durability, cost optimization, and standardization of advanced techniques.
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive approaches are increasingly used for primary ventral hernia repair, but comparative patient-reported outcome evidence remains limited. We examined long-term patient-reported outcomes after robotic, laparoscopic, and open elective primary ventral hernia repair. STUDY DESIGN This nationwid...
INTRODUCTION Robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair has expanded over the last decade, largely driven by the widespread adoption of the da Vinci platform. Although this system offers advantages in visualization, precision, and dexterity, concerns regarding cost, accessibility, and platform design have stimulated the de...
Abstract Groin hernia repair is among the most common surgical procedures worldwide, yet chronic postoperative pain and recurrence remain important long-term complications. This narrative review compares long-term outcomes after traditional open repair with minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches. Evidence was ident...
Overall, contemporary evidence does not support routine replacement of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with robotic cholecystectomy for uncomplicated gallbladder disease and the robotic platform may be best positioned for selective use in technically complex cases where enhanced visualization, articulation, and operative...
