Abstract

Suprapubic hernias are an uncommon type of ventral/incisional hernia and are associated with operative challenges due to location. The authors review the specific challenges associated with the repair of suprapubic ventral/incisional hernias, the role and data surrounding minimally invasive/laparoscopic repair, as well as setup and operative technique for robotic-assisted laparoscopic repair of these challenging hernias.
