title: ROBOTIC ASSISTED SINGLE SITE FOR BILATERAL INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR.
abstract: The inguinal hernia is one of the most frequent surgical diseases, being frequent procedure and surgeon´s everyday practice.
  
  
  
  To present technical details in making hernioplasty using robotic equipment on bilateral inguinal hernia repair with single port and preliminary results with the method.
  
  
  
  The bilateral inguinal hernia repair was performed by using the Single-Site(c) Da Vinci Surgical Access Platform to the abdominal cavity and the placement of clamps.
  
  
  
  This technique proved to be effective for inguinal hernia and have more aesthetic result when compared to other techniques.
  
  
  
  Inguinal hernia repair robot-assisted with single-trocar is feasible and effective. However, still has higher costs needing surgical team special training.
