C 4 - ROBOTIC INGUINAL HERNIA FOLLOWING PROSTATECTOMY WITH ARTIFICIAL URINARY SPHINCTER

Objectives: Minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair following prostatectomy is a controversial and challenging clinic scenario. Additionally, as the field of urology advances, more artificial reservoir devices are being implanted throughout the world. This is a video submission of a robotic bilateral inguinal hernia repair (TAPP) following prostatectomy with an artificial urinary sphincter in place. This video highlights challenges of re-do surgery in the space of retzius, in addition to management strategies for intra-peritoneal reservoir management during inguinal hernia repair.

Methods: This is a single surgeon video submission of a robotic TAPP inguinal hernia repair following prostatectomy with lymph node dissection and radiation. It highlights tips for management of medial dissection after prostatectomy as well as management strategies for intra-peritoneal reservoir management during inguinal hernia repair.

Results: As described in recent literature, minimally invasive pre-peritoneal robotic inguinal hernia repair is safe and effective following prostatectomy. Management strategies for balloon reservoirs in either the pre-peritoneal or intra-peritoneal space during herniorrhaphy.

Conclusion: As described in recent literature, minimally invasive pre-peritoneal robotic inguinal hernia repair is safe and effective following prostatectomy. Management strategies for balloon reservoirs in either the pre-peritoneal or intra-peritoneal space during herniorrhaphy.
