Robotic Ventral Hernia Repair with Posterior Component Separation and Transversus Abdominis Release (TAR) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to repair complex ventral hernias. This technique combines robot-assisted surgery with posterior component separation and transversus abdominis release (TAR) to address large and complicated abdominal wall defects. Here are the key points of this procedure: […]
Enhanced view Totally Extraperitoneal (eTEP) Rives-Stoppa Repair
The Enhanced-view Totally Extraperitoneal (eTEP) Rives-Stoppa Repair is an advanced surgical technique used primarily for the repair of ventral and incisional hernias. This approach combines the principles of the Rives-Stoppa procedure with the benefits of a minimally invasive, laparoscopic technique. Key Features of eTEP Rives-Stoppa Repair Minimally Invasive Approach: The eTEP technique is performed laparoscopically, […]
Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (eTEP) Hernia Repair Technique
The Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (eTEP) hernia surgery repair technique is a novel and advanced approach for the treatment of ventral and inguinal hernias. eTEP is a minimally invasive approach that can be performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance, rather than being an open surgery technique. This technique was first introduced by Jorge Daes in 2012 […]
The Bassini Hernia Repair Technique
The Bassini hernia repair, developed by Italian surgeon Edoardo Bassini in the late 19th century, represents a significant historical advancement in the surgical treatment of inguinal hernias. Although this hernia repair technique has largely been replaced by modern methods, particularly tension-free mesh repairs, it remains a critical part of surgical history and education. The Bassini […]
Lichtenstein Tension-Free Mesh Hernia Repair
The Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair is a pioneering surgical technique developed in the 1980s by Dr. Irving L. Lichtenstein. This method has transformed the landscape of inguinal hernia surgery, offering patients a highly effective treatment option with a focus on reducing recurrence rates and facilitating a quicker return to daily activities. This article delves into […]
McVay Hernia Repair Technique
The McVay hernia repair, historically known as the Cooper’s ligament repair, is a surgical approach developed for the treatment of inguinal (relating to the groin) and femoral (relating to the upper thigh) hernias. Pioneered by Dr. Chester McVay, this technique is distinguished by its utilization of Cooper’s ligament, offering an alternative to other hernia repair […]
Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Hernia Repair
The Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) technique is a minimally invasive method that offers a quicker recovery and less pain than traditional hernia surgeries. This guide breaks down the TAPP procedure into understandable parts. What is TAPP? The TAPP technique repairs inguinal hernias using small incisions, cameras, and a mesh. It’s done by accessing the hernia from […]
