Study Findings on Hernias Are Outlined in Reports from New York University Langone Health [Robotic Preperitoneal Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (R-petep) Technique Description for Ventral Hernia Repair: Preliminary Results].

A study conducted by researchers at New York University Langone Health describes a new technique for ventral hernia repair called Robotic Preperitoneal Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (R-PeTEP). This technique allows for the placement of preperitoneal mesh without entering the abdominal cavity, reducing the risk of complications. The study included 25 patients who underwent R-PeTEP, and the results showed favorable outcomes with minimal complications. The researchers concluded that R-PeTEP is a safe and effective method for ventral hernia repair. [Extracted from the article]
