Abstract

Background

Painful neuromas are a relatively common complication of hernia and abdominal wall surgery.

Objective

Surgical neurectomy has the potential to to provide durable relief for chronic pain; however, current surgical approaches are not without morbidity or anatomical challenges.We sought a surgical alternative.

Methods

In the treatment of a case of incapacitating inguinal pain, we performed an anterior transperitoneal approach using a surgical robot.

Results

This approach was facile and provided elegant anatomical visualization.

Conclusion

This case describes the first known robot-assisted laparoscopic triple neurectomy and details a simplified, transperitoneal approach.
