LAUSR

Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair provides several benefits over the open approach. Intraperitoneal surgical mesh placement without fascial defect closure is associated with increased seroma formation and other adverse hernia‐site outcomes. Transfascial sutures and tacs for fascial closure and surgical mesh fixation are associated with greater post‐operative pain. Robotic‐assisted ventral hernia repair (rVHR) may afford benefits of the laparoscopic approach while facilitating a more robust and less painful repair.
