P-092 EARLY OUTCOMES OF ROBOTIC-ASSISTED TRANSABDOMINAL PREPERITONEAL INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR: A SINGLE-INSTITUTION EXPERIENCE

Abstract Purpose Since the introduction of Da Vinci robot, robot-assisted hernia repairs have become more common. We aim to report our initial experience robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) inguinal repair. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed in patients who underwent R-TAPP repair with a prosthetic mesh using platform (Intuitive Surgical Inc). Data were collected for patient characteristics and surgical outcomes. Results total 21 consecutively. The mean age 54.1 ±16.4 years. Twenty (95.2%) male, body mass index 23.8 ± 1.9. Bilateral on 2 (9.5%) patients. Six cases (28.5%) huge scrotal hernias by R-TAPP. operation time 91.8 20.4 min unilateral 154.5 26.2 bilateral hernia. console operative 61.4 16.9 128 25.5 Scrotal vein injury identified one intraoperatively. Two minor postoperative complications reported: ileus other umbilical wound seroma. length hospital stay 3.8 0.9 days. Neither mortality nor conversion open surgery occurred. Conclusion Our early has demonstrated that is safe feasible approach. Cost-effectiveness, optimal procedural steps, indications approach remain be further investigated.
