Abstract
Much like laparoscopic hernioplasty, the keys to performing a successful robotic hernia repair lie as much in the attention to ancillary details of the procedure as they do in performing the actual operative steps. Seemingly mundane details like room setup, patient positioning, port placement, and instrumentation all ultimately facilitate the successful completion of the robotic-assisted case. In this chapter we will discuss intraoperative considerations for robotic hernia repair including a review of the technical aspects of the procedures and will provide details and helpful tips for managing difficulties unique to robotic-assisted hernia repair. As of the writing of this chapter, the da Vinci system is the only device available in the United States for hernia repair and our discussion will focus entirely on this system.
