“…The first reports of surgical hernia repair were published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, mostly describing umbilical hernia repair. At the time, surgical repair of hernias was considered "radical," with most people preferring reduction with a pad or suspension of incarcerated hernias [5]. Dr. Lucas-Championniere was one of the first surgeons to describe the principle of excising the hernia sac and closure of the neck [6].…”

Approximately 350,000 to 500,000 ventral hernias are repaired yearly in the United States. These hernias include congenital umbilical hernias, incisional hernias from previous surgeries, or epigastric hernias. The crux of hernia repair is honoring the principle of achieving a tension-free repair, often achieved with utilization of a synthetic mesh. Over the last quarter of this century, laparoscopic ventral hernia repair has established itself as a valuable tool in repair of ventral hernias, with the advantages of reduced postoperative complications. More recently, the adaptation of the robotic platform has given another tool to perform ventral hernia repairs. The aim of this chapter is to describe the evolution of ventral hernia repairs and highlight the robotic approaches to repair.
