    Diagnostic laparoscopy as the definitive means of hernia detection?

    Thanks Dr. Szotek. I guess my question is, is the peritoneum vital to have intact? Once it is taken down, can it be placed back to where it was before, or does something else (mesh) have to be inserted in it’s place? This is assuming everything looks normal on close inspection, no hernia or lipoma. Also, is insurance covering this “experimental” robotic repair? Thank you
