Ventral, Incisional, andAtypical Hernias Using aRobotic Transabdominal
15
Preperitoneal Approach
StephanieBollenbach andConradBallecer
Introduction
It is from the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) for the treat­ment of groin hernias that the robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (rTAPP) for ventral hernias was adapted, integrating methods gained both from open and conventional laparoscopic ventral hernia repairs. With the robot, the dissection of the individual layers of the abdominal wall is done with greater visualization, ergo­nomics, and precision. The transabdominal preperitoneal approach is designed around the placement of uncoated mesh in a preperitoneal position, providing pro­tection from the intra-abdominal content. This allows decreased risk of visceral adhesions to the mesh and potentially eliminating the requirement for signicant xation of the mesh. In this chapter, rTAPP will be discussed for the repair of ven­tral hernias.
Anatomy
A full comprehension of the layers of the abdominal wall is a fundamental compo­nent of rTAPP.Beneath the transversalis fascia or posterior sheath, a preperitoneal avascular plane is established with the initial dissection and further developed using blunt and sharp dissection. A sufcient overlap of 5cm is created circumferentially to the fascial defect. Once the hernia sac is reduced and the preperitoneal plane is extended to allow an appropriately sized mesh, the dissection is complete. The use of mesh allows for reinforcement and may be secured to the abdominal wall with

sutures or tacks. The peritoneal ap is then re-approximated, providing coverage of the mesh. The technique is most appropriate for ventral hernias of small to medium size, as well as atypical hernias such as subxiphoid, suprapubic, ank, and Spigelian defects.
Preoperative Considerations
In devising a plan for surgical repair, a thorough history and physical exam are imperative. Comorbidities must be individually assessed, including BMI, smoking history, prior hernia repairs, and immunocompromised states, which may be crucial in determining optimal nonoperative versus operative approach. A thorough history and physical exam are typically adequate in preoperative evaluation of those with small primary hernias. CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis may be helpful, par­ticularly in patients with large and recurrent incisional hernias. In our practice, we have found the rTAPP to be ideal for ventral fascial defects measuring 1–5cm in any location. Defects greater in size, 5–8cm, may be more optimal for a robotic Rives, and those measuring 8–16cm or those with midline and lateral defects are often better served with the roboTAR technique. Older individuals or those with signicant comorbidities or low functional capacity are good candidates for the IPOM with or without closure of the fascial defect.
Operative Steps
1. Umbilical Hernias
Positioning, Port Placement, Docking, and Instrumentation
The patient is placed on the operating room table in supine position with both arms tucked. Elevating the kidney rest located at the level of the umbilicus can extend the space between the costal margin and the pelvic rim, allowing more ideal separation between the trocars. The same goal may be accomplished by exing the bed. Foley catheter placement may be considered, especially if the case is expected to be prolonged.
Intra-abdominal access is obtained via a 5-mm Optiview trocar at Palmer’s point in the left or right upper quadrant, with or without initial Veress insufa­tion. Pneumoperitoneum is accomplished, with a pressure of 15 mmHg. A 12mm robotic port is placed under laparoscopic visualization in the mid-lateral abdomen, at a minimum of 15cm from the defect. An 8-mm port is placed in the left or right lower quadrant, after which the 5-mm Optiview port is exchanged for an 8-mm robotic port (Fig.15.1).
Over the contralateral side, the robot is docked in line with the ports. A 30° scope is used facing upward for initial dissection of the ipsilateral abdominal wall. In order to better facilitate preperitoneal dissection on the contralateral side, the scope may be adjusted to 0° or downward facing 30° scope.

Preperitoneal Plane Dissection, Primary Repair of Defect, and Mesh Placement
In order to fully visualize the hernia defect, adhesions are lysed with care. Using monopolar scissors, the peritoneum is incised at a minimum of 5cm from the nearest edge of the hernia defect (Fig. 15.2). The avascular preperitoneal plane is dissected with blunt and sharp dissection, while using electrocautery very cautiously in order to avoid peritoneal and posterior sheath rents. Dissection of this plane may be done safely and easily with blunt sweeping and adequate counter traction. With development of the preperitoneal plane both cephalad and caudad to the fascial defect, the hernia sac is dened (Figs.15.3, 15.4, and 15.5). The sac is reduced methodically in order to avoid tears in the peritoneum.
Once the hernia sac is fully reduced, the peritoneal plane is further established on the contralateral abdominal wall. Dissection must be continued until an

adequately sized mesh may be placed with a minimum of 5cm overlap in each direction. The development of a large ap is benecial due to a redundancy in the peritoneum, thereby facilitating its closure.
Once there is felt to be adequate preperitoneal dissection, the hernia defect is closed, typically with absorbable barbed suture in continuous fashion (Fig.15.6). The dead space of the hernia defect noted anteriorly may be obliterated with thin bites of subcutaneous tissue, recreating an inverted umbilicus. Absorbable suture may be used to close small peritoneal disruptions.
Through the 8 mm trocar, an appropriately sized uncoated mesh can be inserted. After the mesh is positioned against the abdominal wall in the preperi­toneal space, it is then xated with tacks or sutures positioned at cardinal points (Fig.15.7). The peritoneum is then re-approximated with tacks or sutures, cover­ing the mesh. Absorbable suture is used to close the fascia of the 12mm port site.

2. Subxiphoid Hernias
Positioning, Port Placement, Docking, and Instrumentation
Subxiphoid, Morgagni, and other such atypical hernias are very appropriate for the rTAPP approach. By positioning the mesh between layers of the abdomi­nal wall, the lack of xation points does not cause any difculty. The patient is placed on the operating room table in supine position with both arms tucked. In order to attain more optimal space between trocars as well as separation from the hernia site, a kidney rest may be used at the level of the umbilicus, or the table may be exed should the patient have a short torso. A Foley catheter can be con­sidered if a prolonged case is expected.
A midline camera port is situated at a minimum of 15cm from the hernia defect in order to gain intra-abdominal access. Two 8 -mm ports are placed under laparoscopic vision at or near the same level of the camera port. The robot is brought in over the patient’s shoulder. A 30° upward scope is preferred for opti­mal visualization of the anterior abdominal wall.
Preperitoneal Plane Dissection, Primary Repair of Defect, and Mesh Placement
Bowel and omental adhesions are dissected with care to in order to fully visu­alize the abdominal wall anatomy and the hernia fascial defect. The hernia is safely reduced of any content in order to avoid iatrogenic injury. At a minimum of 5cm from the edge of the facial defect, the peritoneum is incised with scis­sors. An avascular preperitoneal plane is established using blunt and sharp dis­section in a caudal to cephalad direction. As mentioned before, cautery should be utilized with caution in order to avoid peritoneal and fascial defects. The perito­neum is separated from the posterior sheath safely via meticulous blunt sweep­ing motions with appropriate traction and countertraction. The hernia sac is fully reduced, continuous with the peritoneal ap. The falciform ligament may be dissected from the anterior abdominal wall and mobilized in order for more opti­mal visualization. The ligament can then be used to cover any peritoneal defects.
After dissection is completed with at least 5cm overlap in all directions, the fascial defect is closed primarily, typically with absorbable barbed suture in con­tinuous fashion.
Through an 8 mm trocar, an appropriately sized uncoated mesh may be inserted and placed in the preperitoneal space against the abdominal wall. The mesh is secured with tacks or sutures at cardinal points and subsequently cov­ered with the peritoneum re-approximated with tacks or sutures.
3. Suprapubic Hernias
Positioning, Port Placement, Docking, and Instrumentation
The rTAPP approach to atypical suprapubic hernias highlights the robot’s ability to establish large preperitoneal planes, ultimately hiding the mesh from visceral content with re-approximation of the peritoneal ap.
The patient is placed on the operating room table in a supine lithotomy posi­tion, with both arms tucked. A Foley catheter is recommended not only to opti­mize visualization but also to help with identication and possibly reduction of the bladder from within the hernia.
15 Ventral, Incisional, andAtypical Hernias Using aRobotic Transabdominal
At least 15cm from the hernia defect, a midline camera port is placed in order to gain intra-abdominal access. Two 8-mm ports are placed in the upper quad­rants bilaterally and 10cm laterally from the midline port (Fig.15.8).
With the patient in Trendelenburg position, the robot is docked between the patient’s legs (Fig.15.9). A 0 or 30° scope is used for visualization of the abdominal wall.

reduced of any content to prevent iatrogenic injury. The peritoneum is incised with scissors at a minimum of 5cm from the edge of the fascial defect. Blunt and sharp dissection is done with a grasper and monopolar scissors. An avascular preperitoneal plane is established, involving the medial umbilical ligaments bilaterally at a minimum. Dissection is continued widely in the retropubic space and the space of Retzius to allow adequate mesh coverage.
Thorough appreciation and visualization of the inguinal anatomy are impor­tant, including identication of the bladder and exposure of Cooper’s ligaments within the retroinguinal space. The cautery should be used with caution while establishing the peritoneal ap, in order to avoid peritoneal defects as well as potential injury to the bladder, cord structures, blood vessels, and nerves.
Once dissection is complete with at least 5cm overlap surrounding the hernia, the fascial defect can be repaired primarily, performed typically with absorbable barbed suture in continuous fashion. Desufation of the pneumoperitoneum to 6–10mmHg may help in closing large suprapubic defects.
An appropriately sized uncoated mesh can be inserted through an 8mm trocar and placed in the preperitoneal space against the abdominal wall. The mesh is subsequently xated at cardinal points as well as Cooper’s ligaments. Fixation in proximity to the bladder and triangles of doom and pain must be avoided. The mesh is covered with the re-approximation of the peritoneal ap, secured with tacks or suture. Absorbable suture is used to close the fascial defect of all port sites larger than 8mm.
Conclusion
The management of ventral, incisional, and atypical hernias with rTAPP is an emerging surgical method; therefore studies are currently ongoing. These evolv­ing techniques stem from well-developed open and laparoscopic principles and exhibit clear proposed benets. With the preperitoneal approach, the mesh is protected from intra-abdominal contents, and full-thickness transfascial sutures can be avoided. This repair requires access of a preperitoneal plane, without which this technique is limited and other techniques may be applied. This is a safe and adaptable method for repair of abdominal wall hernias. In comparison to laparoscopic techniques, the robot allows enhanced ergonomics, precision, and visualization, as well as comparable patient satisfaction and improved qual­ity of life and physician satisfaction.

Introduction
Approximately 4–5 million laparotomies are performed each year in the United States, 2–20% of which are complicated by incisional hernia (IH) [1]. IH is the most common complication of laparotomy requiring reoperation at a ratio beyond bowel obstruction of 3:1 [2]. The vast majority of hernias develop 6months to 3years after laparotomy and are associated with wound infection, obesity, tobacco abuse, immune suppression, and suture closure technique [3, 4]. As such, roughly 200,000 incisional hernia repairs are performed annually with a recurrence rate of 45–50% inclusive of all techniques and 20–30% with mesh repair in all-comers [1, 5, 6]. Factors impacting the success of operative repair include management and optimi­zation of medical comorbidities (i.e., obesity, diabetes, smoking, pulmonary func­tion, MRSA colonization) [2]. Tension-free mesh repair is currently the accepted standard of care given prohibitively high recurrence with suture repair alone [1, 6]. However, despite the groundbreaking work of many herniorrhapists over decades of research, the gold standard of mesh herniorrhaphy remains subject to debate [2].
Mesh herniorrhaphy of IH was rst introduced 60years ago at Baylor University
by general surgeon Dr. Francis Usher and colleagues with Marlex knitted polyeth­ylene mesh placed deep to the rectus musculature [7]. Parallel to this, anatomist and surgeon Jean Rives under the guidance of Bourgeon further delineated the imple­mentation of this sublay technique with the use of Mersilene polyester ber at the French University of Algiers [8]. Rives described ventral incisional hernia as a
