Laparoscopic TAPP to treat inguinal hernia. Is the robot preferable? A review and cohort-study on anatomical landmarks of robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal groin hernia repair (r-TAPP)
Cirugía Española(2023)
摘要
In this review, the advantages of the robotic platform in rTAPP are presented and discussed. Against the background of the unchanged results of conventional TAPP for decades (approx. 10% chronic pain and approx. 3.5% recurrence), a new anatomy-guided concept for endoscopic inguinal hernia repair with the robot is presented. The focus is on the identification of Hesselbach's ligament. The current results give hope that the results of TAPP can be improved by rTAPP and that rTAPP is not just a more expensive version of conventional TAPP. To support the rationale presented here, we analyzed 132 video recordings of rTAPP's for the anatomical structures depicted therein. The main finding is, that in all cases (132/132 or 100%) Hesselbach's ligament was present and following its lateral continuity with the ileopubic tract offered a safe framework to develop all the critical anatomical structures for clearing the myopectineal orifice, repair the posterior wall of the groin and perform a flawless mesh fixation. Future studies are needed to integrate all the resources of the robotic platform into an rTAPP concept that will lead out of the stalemate of the indisputably high rate of chronic pain and recurrences.
