Robotic Hernia Repair in Melbourne
Robotic surgery allows many complex hernias to be repaired through small incisions using the latest da Vinci Surgical System. Mr Steven Karametos specialises in robotic abdominal wall reconstruction and the management of complex and recurrent hernias. Patients may benefit from:
- Less pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery
- Smaller incisions
- Lower wound complication rates
What is Robotic Hernia Repair like for patients?
Your surgeon sits at a console next to you and operates using tiny instruments through a few small incisions. The da Vinci system provides your surgeon with a high-definition, magnified 3D view and highly precise instrument control. 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.
