Abstract
Robotic assisted transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repair is an effective and safe approach. This report describes a new technique of robotic extended view totally extraperitoneal repair. A supraumbilical retro rectus approach, creation of pre-peritoneal space, separation of hernia sac from cord structures, placement of mesh and fixing with vicryl suture was employed in a 58-year gentleman with right inguinal hernia. The surgery was performed with the use of a DaVinci robotic system. No intraoperative problems were encountered. The patient was discharged within 24 hours of surgical intervention. The work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria. The patient had no groin pain, inguinal or scrotal swelling at 30 day follow up. He was pleased with the cosmetic result and has gone back to work. Robotic e-TEP is a viable option in inguinal hernia repair.
