ventral hernia
Robotic-assisted surgery research has grown dramatically in the past two decades,
leveraged by top Gross Domestic Product (GDP) countriesSeveral comparative studies of robotic-assisted primary, inguinal, or incisional
ventral hernia repair versus laparoscopy found no significant differences in

institutions. In 2012, public hospitals in Brazil acquired this system, making
surgical technology available to patients treated in the public health system
