Multisite hernia treatment: the robotic approach makes it feasible
Robotic combined hernia repair is a safe and effective minimally invasive option. Single docking offers advantages but is limited to patients with midline defects combined with unilateral inguinal hernias. For midline defects combined with bilateral inguinal hernias, double docking is generally required.
