Including the application of robotic hernia surgery, which helps patients reduce pain in the postoperative period and quickly recover health.
1. Is abdominal wall hernia dangerous?
Abdominal wall hernia is a disease that occurs when the patient's abdominal wall muscle is open or weak, creating a bulge on the abdomen, every time the abdominal wall muscle is stretched, it will increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, causing bulges appear more clearly.
Abdominal wall hernia is common in people with weak abdominal muscles, which may be due to congenital causes, old surgical incisions, sports injuries, etc., causing part of the patient's abdominal organs to be damaged. push out where the abdominal wall muscles are weak.
When the abdominal wall herniation, the patient will see a bulge on the abdominal wall on the abdominal wall, usually appearing when walking, standing, disappearing when lying down. In some cases, a bulging or jammed mass will not go away when lying down. In the case of herniated viscera, the intestine can be strangled causing intermittent abdominal pain, bowel obstruction requiring emergency surgery.
2 What are the advantages of robotic hernia surgery?
Robotic hernia surgery has outstanding advantages over traditional open surgical methods and classic laparoscopic surgery. This method can be applied to almost any hernia position that the patient encounters.

Laparoscopic surgery for abdominal wall hernia by robot brings outstanding advantages such as:
High accuracy When applying robotic abdominal hernia surgery, the success rate of the patient will reach 99% thanks to the high precision of the robotic arm. During the surgery, the 3D screen system helps the surgeon to perform the surgery, stitches.... Precise position to operate in difficult positions that classical laparoscopic surgery is difficult to reach, thereby ensuring that high level of safety and effectiveness for surgery.
Few complications If the traditional open surgery method often has many potential risks because the patient has to face complications after surgery such as infection, postoperative pain... then the laparoscopic method of abdominal wall hernia Robotics can eliminate these risks, because this is a minimally invasive surgical method that helps reduce pain, speed up recovery and early discharge from the hospital.
In parallel with the treatment of abdominal wall hernia by robotic surgery, patients need to create a living habit to limit the progression of abdominal wall hernia by:
Absolutely follow the instructions of the doctor in the treatment. taking medicine for treatment, nutrition, rest; Should be gentle after surgery to avoid affecting the incision; Conduct regular check-ups to monitor health status and disease progression; Notify your doctor immediately if you notice any abnormality in your body after surgery.
