Purpose
Inguinal hernias are detected in 20% to 30% of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. We report our experience with concomitant transperitoneal robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and intraperitoneal inguinal herniorrhaphy using prosthetic mesh.
Materials and Methods
A retrospective review was performed of the medical records of 533 consecutive robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies performed by 1 surgeon from June 2002 to April 2007. All cases that included combined herniorrhaphy were recorded in a prospective database, reviewed and compared against a cohort of patients matched for body mass index and age who underwent robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy alone.

Brown said it has been “a real learning experience” to help nurture a new medical device from idea to reality.
