Using the Da Vinci Single Port Robotic Platform in Abdominal Wall Surgery: Preclinical Exploration of a Suprapubic Single Port Extraperitoneal Approach (SP2 eTEP)
This preclinical (pre-IDEAL stage) exploration and procedural development demonstrate the feasibility of SP<sup>2</sup> eTEP for ventral hernia repair with the Da Vinci SP platform. The findings support progression to clinical evaluation of this novel robotic approach for abdominal wall hernia repair.
