This study shows robotic hernia surgery using the Versius® system is safe and effective. The novel system demonstrated feasibility with no major complications in 41 cases.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Hernia repair is a common surgical procedure.
  • Advancements in surgical robotics offer potential benefits for complex procedures.
  • The Versius® robotic system is a novel platform for minimally invasive surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of hernia repair using the Versius® robotic system.
  • To describe surgical techniques for inguinal and ventral hernia repair with Versius®.
  • To present the initial case series using this new robotic platform.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective case series of 41 consecutive hernia repairs (32 inguinal, 9 ventral) using the Versius® robotic system.
  • Data collection included pre-, peri-, and postoperative outcomes.

  • Specific techniques for robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repairs were detailed.

    • Main Results:

    • No conversions to open surgery were required.
    • Median length of stay was 0 days.
    • Six patients (15%) experienced minor complications (urinary retention), with no major complications, readmissions, or reoperations.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic hernia surgery with the Versius® system is safe and feasible.
    • The system provides comparable results to existing robotic platforms.
    • Implementation requires minimal adaptation of established surgical techniques.
