Abstract:
This article explores the technological innovations and clinical prospects of robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair (RAHHR). RAHHR demonstrates outstanding performance in hiatal hernia repair, particularly for complex hernias, owing to its advantages such as 3D visualization and 7-degree-of-freedom robotic arms, which contribute to reduced recurrence rates and accelerated recovery. However, challenges remain, including high costs and limited operative space. Future directions include the development of single-port robotic systems, force feedback technology, and AI-powered surgical navigation. Standardized training and technological innovations are expected to promote its widespread application.
