Robotic ventral hernia repair in morbidly obese patients: perioperative and mid-term outcomes.

To our best knowledge, this study is the first to present outcomes of morbidly obese patients who underwent RVHR. The results indicate the safety and efficacy of RVHR in morbid obesity with a low recurrence rate as well as a long freedom-of-recurrence time. Further studies are needed to better elucidate the role of robotic surgery in morbidly obese patients.
