Robotic enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal approach for giant incisional hernias: technical aspects and short-term results from a single center

Robotic single-port totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair with excision of a canal of Nuck cyst using the da Vinci SP system: a video vignette

The da Vinci single-port (SP) robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) provides enhanced dexterity and visualization through a single incision, making it effective for complex groin pathology in women. We report a 46-year-old female with a long history of right inguinal bulge and pain. Preoperative imaging revealed a...

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...

Robotic versus open mesh-enforced retrorectus ventral hernia repair: a multi-center comparative study

Mesh-enforced open ventral hernia repair (OVHR) is associated with increased surgical site occurrences and prolonged hospital stay. Robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair (RVHR) may offer benefits compared to OVHR, but comparative literature is scarce. This multicenter prospective cohort study used data from the intern...

Minimally invasive extraperitoneal reconstruction of lateral incisional hernias without posterior component separation: early multicenter outcomes

How-I-do-it: bottom dock eTEP with bilateral TAR for incisional hernia after liver transplantation: early outcomes and feasibility.

Less Is More: Standardization and Description of Partial Transversus Abdominis Release (pTAR) for W2–W3 Midline Incisional Hernia Repair

Background: Posterior component separation with transversus abdominis release (TAR) enables tension-free reconstruction of large midline incisional hernias but, when performed as a complete bilateral release, may expose selected patients to extensive lateral dissection and related morbidity. In daily practice, many sur...
