Robotic Assisted Single Incision Laparoscopic Total Extraperitoneal Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair
Luca Giordano, MD FACS. Aria Health, Philadelphia, PA, USA laparoscopic total extraperitoneal ingunal hernia repair are routinely performed. Robotic assistance to single incision laparoscopic operations, with instrument crossing and arm control reassignment, can facilitate the technical performance of the procedure. This video demonstrate the technical feasibility of a robotic assisted total extraperitoneal bilateral inguinal… Continue Reading »
Pattern of Recurrence, Readmission and Wound Infection Following Emergent Ventral Hernia Repair
Tolutope O Oyasiji, MD MRCS, Scott W Helton, MD FACS. Department of Surgery, Hospital of Saint Raphael, New Haven, CT 06511 Introduction: The study aims to investigate if surgical technique, wound contamination or interaction between both are predictive of adverse outcomes following emergent ventral hernia repair. We hypothesize that patients repaired with permanent mesh… Continue Reading »
Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Belsey Fundoplasty for Gastroesophageal Reflux
Objectives: Belsey Mark IV fundoplasty is associated with less gas bloat and dysphagia compared to the Nissen wrap. Conventionally, a Belsey Mark IV fundoplasty requires a thoracotomy. Laparoscopic approaches to the Belsey procedure have not been satisfactory. By virtue of 3-D visualization and greater maneuverability, robot assistance can overcome the technical shortcomings of the laparoscopic… Continue Reading »
