Purpose: This is the first study to investigate clinical outcomes after robotic emergent inguinal hernia repair (rEIHR). Methods: Data were retrospectively analyzed from patients who underwent rEIHR from 2013 to 2020. Any patients who underwent concomitant nonabdominal wall procedures were excluded. Complications were assessed with the Clavien-Dindo (CD) and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®) scoring systems. Results: Out of 616 patients who underwent inguinal herniorrhaphy throughout the study period, 23 rEIHRs were identified among 19 patients. The median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II score was 6, and the average skin-to-skin time was 75.9 minutes. The average length of stay (LOS) was 1.4 days. During the mean follow-up period of 31.7 months, a total of three complications (CD-grades I, II, and IVa) in two patients were observed. The median CCI score was 0 (max = 43.3). Conclusion: rEIHR is a feasible option for surgeons to utilize, with a short LOS and low complication rate, given the sufficient experience and support as well as the appropriate patient selection.
