Faster hernia surgery recovery time
If you've been putting off a hernia surgery because you thought there was a long hernia repair surgery recovery time, you'll be glad to know that the benefits of robotic-assisted hernia surgery may include a shorter hospital stay, less pain and discomfort, smaller incisions and a faster recovery time than traditional open or laparoscopic hernia surgeries.
Candidates for laparoscopic hernia surgery (minimally invasive surgery) may also be candidates for a robot-assisted hernia surgery, which offers many benefits, including:
- Enhanced vision, precision and control
- A 3D view inside your body
- Wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand
- Small incisions for quicker healing, less scarring and reduced risk of infection.
Relief from hernia symptoms
Most hernias will not heal on their own. Hernia repair surgery is necessary to push the abdominal material back where it belongs and to repair the abdominal wall.
A strangulated hernia (one that has become entangled or entrapped and has had its blood supply cut off) requires immediate, emergency hernia repair surgery. If you are having hernia symptoms, such as if the hernia is large or protruding or if the hernia is causing pain, see your doctor immediately and ask if robotic hernia surgery is right for you.
