Robotic inguinal hernia repair, long-term quality of life & outcomes by Dr Iraniha Five years ago if someone asked my opinion about the robotic surgery, as a laparoscopic surgeon, I would say that I was extremely skeptical and saw no real value. But I am so grateful to one of the great nurses who encouraged…
This is a 50 years old female who presented with a left groin bulge with on and off pain and discomfort during activity and exercise. Initially she was found to have left inguinal hernia on her physical examination. This video demonstrates the robotic assisted left inguinal hernia repair with mesh.
Gallbladder disease is a common problem in the world and at times it is underdiagnosed or even undertreated. The gallbladder is a small structure underneath of the liver and is connected to the liver via a common channel, called common bile duct. It is responsible to store a small portion of the bile that is produced by the liver.
Gallbladder disease is a common problem in the United States and approximately 10-15 percent of the adult population have gallstones. Gallstones are more common in women, older patients, and certain ethnic groups, and are associated with multiple pregnancies, obesity, and rapid weight loss.

Newport Beach, California, USA Purpose: Conventional laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair is an established alternative to open hernia repair given equivalent outcomes and decreased post-operative pain and faster recovery. It is,…
Technical modifications for robotic assisted TAPP inguinal hernia repair Andrew S. Iraniha, MD, FACS ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair remains a technically challenging procedure requiring advanced laparoscopic skills with prolonged surgeon learning curve. The robotic system has the potential to overcome these challenges. However, due to cost and the length of operation, using…
