“…One barrier to the adoption of robotic platforms is the associated learning curve. The learning curve of R-TAPP is estimated to range from 30 to 40 cases based on the duration of the surgery [ 11 ]. In the current study, the mean operative time was slightly longer than that previously reported for R-TAPP repair [ 2 ].…”

Results: Twenty-one patients (including 20 male patients [95.2%]) with a mean age of 54.1 ±16.4 years and body mass index of 23.8 ± 1.9 kg/m 2 underwent R-TAPP inguinal hernia repair. Bilateral hernia repair was performed in two patients (9.5%), and six patients (28.5%) with scrotal hernia underwent R-TAPP hernia repair. A sigmoid colon sliding hernia was present in three patients (14.3%). The mean operation and console times were 91.8 ± 20.4 minutes and 154.5 ± 26.2 minutes, and 61.4 ± 16.9 minutes and 128.0 ± 25.5 minutes for unilateral and bilateral inguinal hernia, respectively. Spermatic vessel injury was identified intraoperatively in one patient. Two minor postoperative complications, postoperative ileus, and wound seroma were reported. The mean duration of hospitalization was 3.8 ± 0.9 days. No recurrence or conversion to open surgery was required. Conclusion:Our findings suggest that R-TAPP inguinal hernia repair is safe and feasible. Its cost-effectiveness, optimal procedural steps, and indications for a robotic approach require further investigation.

BACKGROUND AND METHOD: Robotic hernia surgery is progressing more and more, so that the robotic procedure is also used in the groin. We compared our patients who were operated on laparoscopically using the TEP technique with patients who were operated on robotically using the TAPP technique. RESULTS: The rTAPP can be safely performed without any problems and has many advantages, but the operating time is significantly longer than the laparoscopic TEPP. CONCLUSION: Inguinal hernia surgery can certainly be learned quickly and effectively as an introduction to robotics. It remains to be seen whether it will prevail in terms of surgical time and economics.
