Robotic surgery
Robotic-assisted groin hernia repair
Robotic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive approach that can be particularly useful for complex or recurrent hernias and selected cases where standard laparoscopy is challenging.
Complex cases
Recurrent hernias
Small incisions
Precision
How robotic repair helps
Robotic systems provide enhanced visualisation and instrument control. This can facilitate careful dissection, mesh placement and suturing in difficult planes, while still using small incisions.
Robotic surgery does not replace laparoscopy or open repair—it is an additional tool to expand minimally invasive options.
Is robotic repair necessary?
Not for everyone
Many hernias are appropriately treated with laparoscopic or open repair. The approach is selected based on your hernia, previous surgery and risk profile.A/Prof McGregor will discuss the recommended approach and why it best suits your case.
