Frequently Asked Questions About Robotic and Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
What are the benefits of robotic hernia repair?
Robotic surgery offers several advantages, including enhanced visualization with 3D imaging, greater dexterity and range of motion for the surgeon, increased precision, smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
How does laparoscopic hernia repair differ from robotic surgery?
Both are minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopic surgery uses long, specialized instruments inserted through small incisions, with the surgeon viewing the surgical field on a 2D monitor. Robotic surgery takes this a step further by providing the surgeon with enhanced 3D visualization and robotic arms that offer greater dexterity and precision than the human hand.
Am I a candidate for robotic or laparoscopic hernia repair?
Many patients are candidates for minimally invasive hernia repair. Dr. Dunn will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the most appropriate surgical approach based on the type, size, and location of your hernia, as well as your overall health.
What is the recovery like after minimally invasive hernia surgery?
Recovery after robotic or laparoscopic hernia repair is generally faster than after open surgery. You can typically expect less pain and smaller incisions. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and gradually increase their activity level over a few weeks. Dr. Dunn will provide you with specific post-operative instructions.
Are the long-term results of minimally invasive hernia repair as good as open surgery?
Studies have shown that the long-term success rates of robotic and laparoscopic hernia repair are comparable to or even better than traditional open surgery, especially for certain types of hernias. The enhanced precision and visualization offered by minimally invasive techniques can contribute to strong and durable repairs.
Why is Dr. Dunn's training with the founders of robotic surgery significant?
Dr. Dunn's direct training with the pioneers of robotic surgery provides him with a unique and in-depth understanding of the technology and its optimal application in hernia repair. This firsthand knowledge and mentorship translate to a higher level of expertise and skill in performing robotic surgery.
