Background Cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted surgery is still debatable. Robotic-
assisted inguinal hernia repair has no clear clinical benefit over laparoscopic repair. We …

The aim of this study was to review the latest evidence on the robotic approach (RHR) for
inguinal hernia repair comparing the pooled outcome of this technique with those of the …

Background Utilization of robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair (IHR) has increased in
recent years, but randomized or prospective studies comparing outcomes and cost of …

Background Robotics offers improved ergonomics, enhanced visualization, and increased
dexterity. Disadvantages include startup, maintenance and instrument costs. Surgeon …

Background There has been a rapid adoption of robot-assisted laparoscopic inguinal hernia
repair in the USA, despite a lack of proven clinical advantage and higher material cost. No …

Importance Despite rapid adoption of the robotic platform for inguinal hernia repair in the
US, to date, no level I trials have ever compared robotic inguinal hernia repair to …

Objective We compared outcomes of elective inguinal hernia repair performed at one
institution by three approaches: robotic-assistance, laparoscopic, and open. Methods …

Introduction Robotic inguinal hernia repair is growing in popularity among general surgeons
despite little high-quality evidence supporting short-or long-term advantages over traditional …

Background Advantages and disadvantages of open and endoscopic hernia surgery are still
being discussed. Until now there has been no study that evaluated the advantages and …

Purpose To evaluate and compare peri-operative outcomes through 30 days, including pain
and quality of life (QOL) through 3 months across three cohorts of inguinal hernia repair …
