AIM. Robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP) is established as safe and feasible with various robotic platforms. This prospective clinical study (NCT05873582) evaluated a new robotic system, consisting of an open platform with a sterile surgeon's console, two ...
We describe the evolution in hernia repair approaches in our practice during the first 3 years of adopting robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery. For inguinal hernia repair, we began using the robotic platform for complex hernias, and the use of open repair decreased from 17% to 6%. For primary...
Inguinal hernia repair Minimally invasive techniques are currently accepted as the treatment of choice for primary unilateral, bilateral, and recurrent inguinal hernias (after anterior repair) due to reduced postoperative pain, wound infection, hematoma formation, and faster return to normal activities when...
Ion is a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy platform that enables clinicians to perform biopsies on lung nodules located far into the peripheral lung.1We designed Ion to help enable precision compared with manual bronchoscopic approaches. Every design decision, from the ultrathin,1ultramaneuverable1catheter ...
Inguinal hernia repair is a frequently performed surgical procedure, with laparoscopic repair emerging as the preferred approach due to its lower complication rate and faster recovery compared to open repair. Mesh-based tension-free repair is the gold st
Hernia repair (ventral, incisional, umbilical, inguinal): recurrence, bowel injury, infection of mesh, erosion of mesh into another organ, urinary retention, chronic pain. For inguinal hernia repair: injury to a blood vessel supplying the testicle and/or testicular injury, injury to tube that ca...
Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic ProstatectomyBackground: The mechanism of the development of acquired inguinal hernia, especially indirect inguinal hernia, is not well known. Although anatomical studies have been performed to explain development of inguinal hernia, they have mainly involved autopsy or temporal...
Robot-assisted microsurgical varicocele repair The odds of having abnormal semen analysis parameter values is increased by two-fold in men with varicoceles. A properly performed varicocele repair can significantly improve semen parameter values, regardless of which technique is used for repair. Many stud...
Through this retrospective series, we aim to contribute to the growing body of literature on robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) by describing our experience with RIHR in this patient subset. We performed a retrospective chart review of RIHR cases performed from June 2017 to April ...
Hernia repair (ventral, incisional, umbilical, inguinal): recurrence, bowel injury, infection of mesh, erosion of mesh into another organ, urinary retention, chronic pain. For inguinal hernia repair: injury to a blood vessel supplying the testicle and/or testicular injury, injury to tube that ca...
