Abstract

BACKGROUND: Tension-free crural closure is critical for durable hiatal hernia repair. Historically, quantifying crural closure tension (CCT) required workflow-disrupting external gauges. The da Vinci 5 (dV5) platform's integrated force feedback allows instantaneous, device-free tension monitoring. This study quantifies in vivo CCT during robotic hiatal hernia repair (RHHR) and introduces an explor…
