SP robotic surgery did not result in increased IH formation, with a hernia rate of only 4%. All hernias occurred at an umbilical incision site or were stoma associated. No hernias developed in the 76% of cases that a muscle-splitting incision or Pfannenstiel incision was employed. Umbilical incisions should be avoided whenever possible.
