This involves the totally extraperitoneal robotic approach, recently published by Dr. Hector Valenzuela, performing a laparoscopic surgery. The advantages of robot-assisted surgery include the precision of dissection and preservation of the peritoneum's integrity, even under conditions of high fragility, enhanced intraoperative comfort, and as a result, increased reproducibility. We believe that restoring the linea alba and placing the parietal prosthesis outside the peritoneal cavity, in addition to eTEP, without cutting any fascial structures, represents a step forward in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery for ventral hernias.
