Robotic and Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair – A Case-Matched Study
Tammy T Chang, MD PhD, Francesco Palazzo, MD, Quan-Yang Duh, MD. University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has certain advantages over open repair, including less post-operative pain and earlier return to normal activity. However, a prolonged surgeon learning curve has limited its more generalized application. Robotic-assisted surgery… Continue Reading
