Comparisons of abdominal wall reconstruction for ventral hernia repairs, open versus robotic

Abstract The surgical complexities of our current population have pushed the technological limits of healthcare, urging for minimally invasive approaches. For ventral hernias, in particular, robotic assisted laparoscopic repairs have been met with conflict. Cost and longer operative times are among...
