RESUMEN
There is still a lot of debate about what is the best technique for ventral hernia (VH) repair surgery. Robotic-assisted procedures are an excellent alternative to overcome the technical difficulties of regular laparoscopic surgery. The onlay technique is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide in open ventral hernia surgery, and the anatomy is easily recognized by all surgeons. Introducing the robotic onlay approach, using robotic-assisted surgery to perform ventral hernia repair with a technique is usual for most surgeons. This "new" approach may change the initial concept that minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery requires specific and tedious training and can help standardize ventral hernia repair by robotic surgery and facilitate training, allowing more surgeons to perform minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery. Finally, clinical studies are needed to measure the impact of Robotot implementation in MIS ventral hernia repair and long-term results.
