Robotic Hernia Surgery. A Comprehensive Illustrated Guide

Robotic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair for Subxiphoid Hernia (TAPP).- Robotic Epigastric Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Umbilical Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Hybrid Ventral Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Supra-pubic Hernia Repair Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP).- Robotic Posterior Component Separation.- Robotic Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (reTEP) Midline Ventral Hernia Repair.- Robotic Subcostal Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Hybrid Robotic Lateral Incisional Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Flank Hernia Repair.- Robotic Parastomal Hernia Repair.- Robotic Lumbar Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Iliac Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Inguinoscrotal Hernia Repair: Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP).- Robotic Direct Inguinal Hernia Repair: Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP).- Robotic Anterior Component Separation.

This atlas demonstrates how to perform each available extraperitoneal hernia repair via a set of high-quality annotated images showing step-by-step guidance on how to perform the surgery. Robotic extraperitoneal hernia procedures are considered great teaching procedures especially with a dual teaching console. The book bridges the gap between traditional hernia and laparoscopic hernia texts by combining both approaches to create a book with a unique visual approach. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative figures are integrated to highlight the importance of these step-by-step procedures, enhance skill and efficiency, and avoid surgical pitfalls. Detailed descriptive figures accompany step-by-step instructions and include specific anatomical annotations that describe the anatomy and layers of the abdominal wall during hernia procedures.

Robotic Hernia Surgery provides a comprehensive, insightful and state-of-art review of this field, and serves as a valuable resource for surgeons, surgeons in training, and students with an interest in hernia and robotic hernia surgery.
