Background This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of robotic
surgery compared to laparoscopy or open surgery for inguinal (IHR) and ventral (VHR) …

Robotic surgery represents a milestone in surgical procedures, offering advantages such as
less invasive methods, elimination of tremors, scaled motion, and 3D visualization. This in …

Background: Over 10 million robotic surgeries have been performed. However, the cost and
benefit of robotic surgery need to be evaluated to help hospitals, surgeons, patients, and …

Importance The prevalence of robotic-assisted anterior abdominal wall (ventral) hernia
repair has increased dramatically in recent years, despite conflicting evidence of patient …

Background As robotic ventral hernia repair (VHR) adoption increases, real-world evidence
is needed to ensure appropriate utilization. Methods Data for open and robotic VHR (OVHR …

Introduction Implementation of robot-assisted procedures is growing. Utilization within the
country's largest healthcare network, the Veterans Health Administration, is unclear …

Abstract Background Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM's) are increasingly used
to assess surgical outcomes in low-risk surgeries such as minimally invasive primary ventral …

Introduction Use of robotic-assisted surgery is increasing, and resident involvement may
lead to higher costs. We investigated whether senior resident involvement in noncomplex …

Although most surgeons likely understand what defines a primary uncomplicated hernia, it is
worthy of discussing as sometimes the definitions can be misunderstood. Primary hernias …

Background Robot-assisted ventral hernia repair is associated with decreased length of stay
and lower complication rates compared with open repair, but acquisition and maintenance …
