Modified USA Narrow 130mm — Single-Port Hernia

Modified USA Narrow 130mm — Single-Port Hernia Repair

The 130mm Modified USA Narrow dressing forceps serves single-port inguinal hernia repair — the totally extra-peritoneal (TEP) and trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) hernia repairs adapted to single-port-laparoscopic technique. The narrow profile reduces port-site conflict that limits standard laparoscopic instruments in the single-port setting.

The single-port hernia-repair adoption

Single-port laparoscopic hernia repair has gained traction at academic centres with active SILS programmes; the technique reduces post-operative pain and improves cosmesis at the cost of slightly longer operating time. The 130mm Modified USA Narrow forceps participates in the open-conversion tray for these procedures.

The robotic-hernia alternative

Robotic inguinal hernia repair has emerged as an alternative to laparoscopic technique, with single-quadrant docking that approximates single-incision access. The 130mm Modified USA Narrow lives in the open-conversion tray for both single-port-laparoscopic and robotic hernia procedures.
