Comparing robotic ventral transabdominal preperitoneal repair (rvTAPP) and laparoscopic enhanced view totally extraperitoneal repair (eTEP): a multicentre observational study.

showed a trend towards a lower rate of patients free from recurrence after rvTAPP compared to robotic retrorectus mesh placement (93.3% vs. 98.2%: p = 0.3; follow-up duration up to 5 years).[ 15 ] However, hernias with a diameter of 4 cm or more were also treated with rvTAPP in this study, resulting in a smaller mesh-to-defect ratio compared to our rvTAPP-treated group.
