Robotic hernia (inguinal,umbilical,incisional)

Hernias are a common medical condition where an organ or tissue protrudes through an abnormal opening in the body. Among the most common types of hernias are inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias. Traditionally, hernia repairs were performed through open surgery, but recent advancements in technology have introduced robotic-assisted surgery, offering improved precision, less invasiveness, and quicker recovery times for patients.

Inguinal Hernia: This is the most common type, particularly in men. It occurs when a portion of the intestine or abdominal tissue protrudes through a weakness in the abdominal wall in the groin area. Inguinal hernias can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to increased pressure in the abdomen, like lifting heavy objects or straining during bowel movements. Umbilical Hernia: This type occurs when part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through the abdominal wall near the belly button (umbilicus). It is common in infants but can also occur in adults, especially in those who are overweight or pregnant. Incisional Hernia: An incisional hernia develops through a scar from previous surgery. If the incision from a prior operation weakens or doesn’t heal properly, abdominal contents like intestine can protrude through, creating a hernia.

About 80% of people who have gallstones will need surgery.

Doctors can remove your gallbladder in one of two ways:

Open surgery: During this procedure, your surgeon will make a 5- to 7-inch incision (cut) on your belly to take out your gallbladder. You’ll need open surgery if you have a bleeding disorder. You may also need it if you have severe gallbladder disease, are very overweight, or are in your last trimester of pregnancy.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Doctors also call this “keyhole surgery.” Your surgeon doesn’t make a big opening in your belly. Instead, he makes four small cuts. He inserts a very thin, flexible tube that contains a light and a tiny video camera into your belly. These help your surgeon see your gallbladder better. Next, he’ll insert special tools to remove the diseased organ.
