Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery is considered the standard approach for the treatment of paraesophageal hernias (PEHs). Despite its advantages, this approach is technically demanding with significant limitations and steep learning curve. Robotic has emerged as an acceptable alternative since it has proven to be feasible and safe with a learning curve comparable to the standard laparoscopic approach. The goal of this chapter is to describe our step-by-step technique to robotic assisted paraesophageal hernia repair.
