Abstract
- Robotics has transformed the field of surgery, providing a tool that has greatly expanded the treatment of a multitude of surgical diseases. In hernia repair, robotic platforms have provided an alternative option that is superior to conventional laparoscopy in many aspects, including marked improvements in manipulation and visibility. Additionally, it is far more ergonomic for the surgeon. The increasing application of robotics has provided a space for the development of additional platforms and devices to address unmet needs. We review current state of the art and potential future uses and innovations in robotic hernia repair.
