Popis: Abstract Aim Robotic surgery using the da Vinci system has markedly increased worldwide. However, robotic inguinal hernia repair remains unpopular outside the United States. We introduced and evaluated a robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (R‐TAPP) technique for inguinal hernia in our hospital. Methods First, we designed a task protocol according to the surgical results of 388 laparoscopic TAPP (L‐TAPP) procedures performed during the 4 years prior to introducing R‐TAPP. Our task protocol included several time limitations during a step‐wise procedure: creating the peritoneal flap (
