The application of robotic assisted tapp ventral hernia repair in obese patient population
The application of Robotic assisted Trans Abdominal Pre-peritoneal “TAPP” ventral hernia repair in the obese patient population:
Conventional open hernia repair of a large incarcerated supra-umbilical ventral hernia repair in an obese patient requires a mid-line abdominal incision and creation of skin flap to reduce the incarcerated intra-abdominal structure, close the ventral hernia defect and reinforce the closure with placement of a mesh.
