Abstrakt: Minimally-invasive surgery is the standard of care in many surgical diseases. Robotic surgery has mitigated nearly all limitations of laparoscopic surgery but with a big cost tag. Surgeon-powered robotic instruments were developed with the concept of providing similar advantages to the robotic platforms but with affordable costs. We report three cases of hernia, one hiatus hernia, and two inguinal hernias managed using surgeon-powered robotics platform. It provides additional maneuverability in minimal invasive surgical dissection and suturing. Surgeon powered robotic surgery may be a cost-effective viable alternative to robotic surgery in developing country like Nepal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
