Subxiphoid and Suprapubic Hernia Repair

Subxiphoid and suprapubic hernias represent uncommon hernias, most of which develop following incisions for cardiac or intra-abdominal surgery. Primary suture repair is associated with unacceptably high recurrence rates. This chapter discusses the details of these very different hernias. Additionally, the operative technique for robotic repair is reviewed. Postoperative management is also discussed.
