Background There is a paucity of literature comparing laparoscopic to robotic inguinal
hernia repair. We present a single surgeon's transition from laparoscopic totally …

Background In this study, we aimed to compare short‐and long‐term outcomes between
laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (L‐TEP) and robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (R …

Background: As the advantages of minimally invasive techniques in general surgery have
been shown, we prefer laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (LTEP) inguinal hernia repair or …

Purpose To compare the perioperative outcomes of initial, consecutive robotic-assisted
transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) inguinal hernia repair (IHR) cases with consecutive …

Background Robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (rTAPP-
IHR) is a safe and feasible approach for hernias of varying etiology. We aim to present a …

Background Learning curves describe the rate of performance improvements according to
the surgeon's caseload, followed by a plateau where limited additional improvements are …

Despite growing popularity and potential advantages of robotics in general surgery, there is
very little published data regarding robotic inguinal hernia repair. This study examines a …

Numerous studies have documented the laparoscopic TransAbdominal Pre-Peritoneal
(TAPP) approach as an excellent choice for inguinal hernia repair, especially with an …

Background The aim of our study is to report our initial clinical experience with robotically
assisted single-site transabdominal preperitoneal (RASS-TAPP) hernia repair, to verify the …

Ger and colleagues 1, 2 first introduced laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in 1990, as a
minimally invasive approach to the classic preperitoneal repair. Robotic inguinal hernia …
