Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with primary closure versus no primary closure of the defect: potential benefits of the robotic technology

Some authors recommend primary closure of the defect before placement of the mesh. The purpose of this study is to compare laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) without primary closure of the defect (NPCD) versus LVHR with primary closure of the defect (PCD).

Robotic repair of giant paraesophageal hernias.

This report suggests that robotic repair of giant para-esophageal hernia has a lower recurrence rate than standard laparoscopic methods, but complications and mortality are similar to standard laparoscopic approaches.

A comparative retrospective study of robotic sleeve gastrectomy vs robotic gastric bypass

The introduction of the robotic platform to bariatric surgery has brought forth a novel approach, with modifications to the standard laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB). The purpose of this study was to match robotic gastric bypass (RGB) vs robotic sleeve gastrectomy (RSG) and compare them to those observed with the laparoscopic platform.
