Robotic Inguinal Hernia Repair (TAPP) —First Experience with the New Senhance™ Robotic System.

CONCLUSION: We report the first series of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs using the new Senhance™ Robotic System. Compared to conventional laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repairs, there was no significant difference in operative time or perioperative complications. Additionally, there was no significant learning curve detected due to its intuitive applicability. Therefore, the Senhance™ Robotic System promises broad applicability across a range of laparoscopic general surgical operations. PMID: 30716159 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
