Robotic Hernia Repair
Robotic hernia repair is now available in Australia. It is a sophisticated robotic surgery platform designed to facilitate surgical procedures using a minimally invasive approach.
Robotic hernia repair surgery provides surgeons with enhanced capabilities, including high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view. The da Vinci Robot provides increased dexterity and visualisation that allows surgeons to safely perform an operation through small incisions as opposed to multiple incisions used in traditional operations.

How Robotic Hernia Repair works Surgeons can perform hernia repair using da Vinci technology. With da Vinci, your surgeon sits at a console next to you and operates using tiny instruments through a few small incisions. A camera provides a high-definition, 3D magnified view inside your body. Every hand movement your surgeon makes is translated by the da Vinci robotic surgical system in real time to bend and rotate the instruments with precision. |
A review of published studies suggests potential benefits of a robotic hernia repair with da Vinci technology include:
- Patients who had a robotic hernia repair with da Vinci had a lower rate of complications after surgery from the time they left the hospital through 30 days after surgery compared with patients who had an open procedure.
- Patients who had a robotic hernia repair with da Vinci technology stayed in the hospital as an inpatient for a shorter amount of time than patients with similar characteristics who had an open procedure.
- Patients experience less pain, smaller scars, and quicker recovery compared with patients who had an open procedure.
