Özet

Introduction: Extraperitoneal approaches to hernia repair utilize

inner layers of the abdominal wall as a barrier. The robotic approach

is promising for obtaining the same quality of an open technique with

decreased perioperative morbidity.

Purpose: There has not been a study comparing robotic transabdominal

preperitoneal (rTAPP) repair and robotic totally

extraperitoneal access (rTEP) repair for primary ventral hernias. Our

aim is to compare short-term outcomes of rTAPP to rTEP repair for

primary ventral hernias.

Methods: A comparative analysis was performed in terms of perioperative

and early outcomes. Univariate tests were used to compare

two groups. A subset analysis of all variables was examined in

patients with and without complications. A logistic regression analysis

was conducted to determine which factors affect the presence of

postoperative complications.

Results: From 598 patients, 63 patients underwent rTEP and 143

patients underwent rTAPP for primary ventral hernia repair. There

were no differences between the groups in terms of patient demographics.

Average defect size, mesh size and overlap were higher in

the rTEP group. Operative times were longer in rTEP group. There

were no differences between the two groups in terms of post-operative

outcomes including complication rates and surgical site events.

Female sex and console time were associated with postoperative

complications.

Conclusion: This is the largest study to date comparing the rTAPP

approach to the rTEP approach for primary ventral hernia. The shortterm

results for rTEP repair were similar rTAPP repair. The rTEP

approach allowed
