Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Perioperative and Long-Term Outcomes.
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques, including laparoscopic (LAP) and robotic-assisted (ROBOT) approaches, have become the preferred methods for managing paraesophageal hernias (PEH). However, differences in clinical outcomes between these techniques remain an area of active investigation. This stud...
