CAVITY, ADHESIONS
Robotic-assisted surgery research has grown dramatically in the past two decades
and the advantages over traditional videolaparoscopy have been extensively
debated. For hernias, the robotic system can increase intraoperative strategies,
especially in complex hernias or incisional hernias. The benefits comprise
high-quality 3D visualization of the abdominal cavity, gain in movement allowing
easier dissection of multiple adhesions, the release of the rectus muscle,
intraperitoneal mesh suturing, and complex reconstruction of the abdominal
wall.
