Robotic Surgery – Precision, Control, and Faster Recovery
Not All Surgeries Need Big Cuts — And You Don’t Need a Long Recovery
Surgery with a Smarter Touch
When it comes to hernia repair, precision is everything. Even a slight miscalculation can lead to recurrence, discomfort, or longer recovery. Robotic surgery takes minimally invasive procedures to the next level — giving the surgeon enhanced vision, control, and accuracy to perform delicate repairs with unmatched precision.
For patients, that means smaller cuts, less pain, and quicker return to normal life.
What We Do in Robotic Hernia Repair
At Dr. Avinash Vagha’s practice, robotic technology is used to perform advanced hernia repairs for:
Umbilical Hernia
Ventral Hernia
Incisional Hernia
Inguinal Hernia
Epigastric Hernia
We specialise in various robotic hernia repair techniques, including:
TAPP – Total Abdominal Preperitoneal Repair
TEP – Total Extraperitoneal Repair
eTEP – Extended Total Extraperitoneal Repair
Rives-Stoppa Technique – For complex and large hernia repairs
These procedures are performed using a state-of-the-art robotic platform that allows for 3D visualisation, tremor-free instrument control, and exceptional surgical precision.
Why Robotic Surgery for Hernias?
- Greater Precision – Enhanced dexterity for complex or recurrent hernias.
- Smaller Incisions – Minimal scarring and faster recovery.
- Lower Risk of Recurrence – Stronger, more accurate repair.
- Less Pain & Discomfort – Faster return to daily activity.
- Improved Outcomes for Complex Cases – Especially useful for large or multi-site hernias.

Trusted Surgical Experience You Can Rely On
Robotic hernia repair is not just about having the latest technology — it’s about having the right hands to guide it. With years of experience in both traditional and advanced minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Vagha uses robotic assistance to deliver consistent, reliable, and safe hernia repairs.
Stories of Recovery
Mr. A.S.
Suffered from a recurrent inguinal hernia after two failed open repairs. Robotic eTEP with mesh placement gave him a permanent fix and pain-free mobility within weeks.
Mrs. V.P.
Developed a large ventral hernia after previous abdominal surgery. Dr. Vagha performed a robotic Rives-Stoppa repair, restoring her abdominal wall strength and appearance.
What Patients Usually Ask Us
Is robotic hernia repair better than laparoscopic?
For many complex hernias, yes. Robotic surgery offers more precision and flexibility, especially in difficult repairs.
Will my recovery be faster with robotic surgery?
Yes — most patients resume light activity in a few days and recover fully within 2–4 weeks.
Is mesh still used in robotic repairs?
Yes — mesh is often placed for strength and to reduce recurrence risk.
Is robotic surgery safe?
Absolutely. It is minimally invasive, with low complication rates when done by an experienced surgeon.
Will my insurance cover robotic surgery?
Most insurance plans cover it if it’s medically indicated.
