Main description:

This book provides a guide to procedures and techniques related to robotic hernia repair. Sections covering inguinal, incisional, and diaphragmatic hernias are included. Each section will cover the setup of the operating room and the management of adverse events specific to the hernia. The steps involved in performing an operation and key components to a successful repair are also covered

The book aims to cover recent technology and updates related to robotic hernia repair.

Robotic Assisted Hernia Repair is relevant to robotic hernia surgeons, fellows training in minimally invasive surgery, and general surgical residents.
