Purpose The use of extraperitoneal mesh in place of intra-peritoneal mesh is gaining
popularity in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. We have adopted a robotic assisted …

Purpose Totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) are
laparoscopic techniques frequently used in inguinal hernia surgeries. There are very few …

Background Building on the principles of eTEP access, described by Dr. Jorge Daes, our
group has previously described and standardized a novel minimally invasive approach to …

Background The purpose of this study was to examine outcomes of robotic ventral hernia
repair (RVHR) versus laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR). Methods The Nationwide …

Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is performed through either an open or minimally invasive
approach (MIS). MIS allows for exploration and potential repair of an occult contralateral …

Background: Retromuscular plane for mesh placement is preferred for ventral hernia repair.
With the evolution of minimal access surgeries, newer techniques to deploy a mesh in the …

Background The technical evolution of hernia repair has brought to the introduction of
laparoscopy in this field. The most common laparoscopic techniques are transabdominal …

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs are most commonly either transabdominal
preperitoneal (TAPP) or totally extraperitoneal (TEP) operations. The indications and …

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare clinical and patient-reported outcomes of
robotic versus laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) at 1-year postoperative. Summary …

Background Since the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, new techniques like
transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair have progressively gained acceptance for the …
