Abstract
Background: Robotic-assisted hiatal hernia repair has increased substantially, but comparative outcomes relative to laparoscopy remain incompletely defined.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using the 2024 Texas Inpatient Public Use Data File. Adult patients undergoing minimally invasive hiatal hernia repair were identified using ICD-10-PCS codes and stratified by surgical approach and mesh use. The primary outcome was major complication (Clavien-Dindo ≥III proxy). Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for demographics, comorbidity burden, admission acuity, and clinical presentation.
Results: Among 3511 patients (1739 laparoscopic and 1772 robotic), major complications differed across groups, with the highest rates in robotic cases without mesh (14.4% vs. 9.3%, P=0.002). The robotic approach was associated with increased odds of major complications (aOR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.04-1.59, P=0.021), persisting in elective cases (aOR=1.38, P=0.013). No differences were observed in Clavien-Dindo ≥IV complications or mortality.
Conclusions: Robotic repair was associated with increased intervention-level complications, with no differences in severe complications or mortality.
期刊介绍:
Surgical Laparoscopy Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques is a primary source for peer-reviewed, original articles on the newest techniques and applications in operative laparoscopy and endoscopy. Its Editorial Board includes many of the surgeons who pioneered the use of these revolutionary techniques. The journal provides complete, timely, accurate, practical coverage of laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques and procedures; current clinical and basic science research; preoperative and postoperative patient management; complications in laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery; and new developments in instrumentation and technology.
