Robotic-Assisted Hernia Repair Techniques at Gem Hospital

Robotic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (rTAPP) Repair:

rTAPP is a less invasive approach to TAPP and the only completely endoscopic technique for the treatment of inguinal and abdominal wall hernias that provides the possibility of accurate mesh positioning through the transabdominal route. It increases exposure and facilitates control, which is particularly useful for the management of the large or multiple hernias, and results in reduced pain and shorter convalescence.

Robotic Totally Extraperitoneal (rTEP) Repair

This technique repairs inguinal hernias totally extraperitoneally, thus reducing intra-abdominal complications and formation of adhesions. This is less invasive than other procedures and therefore results in early recovery and minimal pain after the operation.

Robotic Ventral Hernia Repair (rVHR)

In the case of abdominal wall hernias, most commonly after surgery, rVHR utilises robotic technology to suture mesh through small ports to reduce the risk of recurrence and hospital stay.

Robotic Inguinal Hernia Repair

Specific to groin hernias, this repair minimises complications such as nerve injury. It repairs the hernia site using mesh, which enhances quick healing and quick return to work.

Robotic Hiatal Hernia Repair (rHHR)

Regarding hiatal hernias, rHHR utilizes the robot’s accuracy to migrate the stomach and tighten the hiatus, minimizing GERD dangers. It is less invasive, has shorter hospital stay and better late prognosis.

Robotic Parastomal Hernia Repair

Developed for hernias near stomas, this method allows for precise placement of the mesh to support the abdominal wall and minimize the risk of recurrence while preserving stoma function for patient comfort.

Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Hernia Repair

Several benefits over conventional open or laparoscopic hernia repair make robotic-assisted hernia repair more appealing to patients. Key benefits include:

• Enhanced Precision: The robotic technology enables the surgeons to perform their operations with a lot of accuracy which in turn minimizes the chances of failure.

• Minimally Invasive: Minimally invasive surgery also results in minimal scarring, little pain after surgery, and short time to get back to normal activities.

• Improved Vision and Dexterity: Robotic systems enable enhanced visualization and higher resolution in 3D and better flexibility than in the open surgery.

• Reduced Recovery Time: Robotic assisted hernia repair has been found to result in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery periods in most patients.

• Lower Risk of Recurrence: Robotic surgery also provide better control and reinforcement of the hernia site and thereby reduce the chance of recurrence and guarantee long term outcome.
