Robotic hernia surgery is a relatively new technique used to treat smaller hernias and rebuild the abdominal wall.
Laparoscopic surgery requires a hernia surgeon specialist to hold the instruments, while robotic surgery features tools operated by a robot and controlled by the robotic hernia expert. Robotic hernia surgery, like other laparoscopic surgeries, consists of using a laparoscope, small incisions, a small camera, inflating the abdomen, and projection of the inside part of the abdomen to video screens. During robotic surgery, the top hernia surgeon sits at the console inside the operating room to manipulate the tiny surgical instruments. This procedure is essential for reducing pain after the operation and aids faster recovery by using small incisions. In comparison to open hernia repair, robotic hernia surgery results in less pain post-surgery, fewer complications like infected wounds, shorter hospital stays, reduced recovery times, and faster return to work regular activities.
