Popis: The laparoscopic fundoplication has proven to be the standard technique of antireflux surgery and hiatal hernia (HH) repair over the last decade. However, robot-assisted surgery is more and more implemented in daily practice. Several studies have proven the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted HH repair and antireflux surgery. Both approaches seem to be similar regarding perioperative and postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, postoperative symptoms, and quality of life, as well as objective assessment of gastric acid exposure. Nevertheless, high total costs as well as a considerably longer total operating time of robot-assisted surgery need to be considered. The role of robot-assisted surgery in complex cases is promising but needs to be evaluated. Eventually, the decision regarding the technique used should be based on the surgeon’s discretion and experience.
