Results Sac dissection and mesh placement was simpler compared to conventional
laparoscopy due to improved, magnified, 3-D vision along with 7 of movement, and better …

Extraction site incisional hernia (IH) has been recognized as an important complication in
minimally invasive procedures but has not been as well characterized following robotic …

Methods: From October 2005 to January 2008, transperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic
prostatectomies were performed and prospectively recorded. We retrospectively reviewed …

Background: Several benefits of inguinal hernia repair concurrent with simple prostatectomy
have been proposed recently. For the first time we represent this surgery in the form of …

The use of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) continues to increase
in the management of prostate cancer by minimally invasive approach, with shorter …

Background Robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) spread in the last
decade as a minimally invasive alternative to open radical prostatectomy for men with …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the incidence of incisional hernias (IHs) and propose a simple
modification to reduce the incidence of IHs. Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) …

BACKGROUND: Observational data indicate that retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) for
prostate cancer (PCa) may induce inguinal hernia (IH) formation. Little is known about the …

Background To observe cumulative morbidity of postoperative inguinal hernia (PIH) and
identify risk factors associated with its development in patients who underwent retropubic …

OBJECTIVES: To examine the risk of postoperative hernia development in men undergoing
transperitoneal and extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). Open radical …
