Robotic repair of hiatal hernia
A. Parisi
Repair of hiatal hernia is recommended in symptomatic patients. Surgical strategies and the best approach that can permit a long term success are still under debate. Robotic surgery begins to play an important role in digestive surgery and several studies on the use of the robot for esophageal diseases have underlined the effectiveness and feasibility of this approach. The robotic system adds precision in the movements and greatly increases the comfort of the surgeon dealing with a delicate reconstructive phase.

Robotic Nissen Fundoplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
A. Parisi
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a significant public health concern. Robotic fundoplication has recently been introduced into clinical practice with the aim of improving surgical dexterity. We report a video of a case of Nissen fundoplication performed with the ausilium of the Da Vinci Surgical System. A 45-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Digestive Surgery and Liver Unit of St. Maria Hospital
