Robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair: A cross-sectional comparison of surgical outcomes

Robotic-assisted TAPP is associated with significantly reduced post-operative pain, superior surgical field visualisation and improved ergonomic feasibility compared to laparoscopic TAPP. These findings support the use of robotic-assisted TAPP as a preferred approach for inguinal hernia repair.
