ABSTRACT

Introduction: The incidence of incisional hernias after hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) ranges from 3 to 10%. Robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair is technically feasible and gaining popularity as an acceptable alternative to open repair.

Case Description: We report a case of a robot-assisted repair for an incisional hernia from a hand-assist port site in a 50-year-old man after a hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (HALN).

Conclusion: We present a novel approach for recreating the anterior abdominal wall using the robotic platform.

Key Words: Hernia, Robotic, Ventral, Pre-peritoneal.
