I’d mesh was implanted laparoscopically and has to be removed the same way the robotic da Vinci has some major advantages in experienced hands for mesh removal
1) 3D camera giving the surgeon superior visibility of all the structures which is extremely important when removing mesh
2)the robotic arms can rotate 360 degrees giving the surgeon the ability to perform certain tasks the human wrists just can’t do
3) prevents fatigue on the hands in long surgeries which mesh removal can be
I had my mesh removed with the robotic assisted lapro-by dr. Igor belhansky in MD as he specializes in this type of instrument and surgery.
most lapro surgeons are now turning to the da Vince for mesh removal (of it was implanted laparoscopically )
