Robotic incisional hernia repairs using intraperitoneal onlay mesh (ipom) showed more perioperative complications, higher postoperative pain, and readmission rates than retromuscular (rm) repairs. However, rm repairs had higher defect closure rates and lower postoperative complications. Despite higher postoperative complication costs in ipom, total costs were comparable between the techniques. Recurrence rates and hospital costs did not significantly differ between the two groups.
