Based on our algorithm, patients were selected for an Endoscopic Onlay Repair (ENDOR) or a Robotic Extended Totally Extraperitoneal Ventral Repair (R-eTEP).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We performed a R-eTEP in fifty-seven patients and an ENDOR in twenty-four patients. In the R-eTEP group, thirty-seven (65%) patients were female, the mean age was 54.8 (\u00b110.6), and the mean BMI was 32 (\u00b14.8). Fifty patients (87.7%) had multiple defects, of which 19 (38%) were recurrent hernias and 31 (62%) were incisional hernias. The mean operative time was 200 (\u00b162.4) minutes, with two cases requiring a hybrid approach. The median length of stay was 1\u00a0day (0\u201312), and the median follow-up was 103\u00a0days. Twenty-four patients underwent an ENDOR, 19 females (79.2%), the mean age was 45.7\u00a0years (\u00b111.7) and the mean BMI was 28 (\u00b13.6). 13 patients had isolated umbilical or epigastric hernias. The mean operative time was 146.2\u00a0min (\u00b151.1). Fibrin sealant and suture was the predominant method for mesh fixation, and most cases were performed in an ambulatory setting. Four patients developed post-operative seromas; one requiring drainage due to infection. The Median follow-up was 48.5\u00a0days (10\u2013523), with two reported hernia recurrences.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    An algorithmic approach for adequate patient selection was shown to be safe for treating ventral hernias with DRAM.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/jaws.2022.10864","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]],"date-time":"2022-12-02T02:55:43Z","timestamp":1669949743000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["An Algorithmic Approach for the MIS Repair of Ventral Midline Hernias Associated With Diastasis of the Rectus Abdominis Muscle"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Cosman Camilo","family":"Mandujano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diego L.","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prashanth","family":"Sreeramoju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Flavio","family":"Malcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"607","DOI":"10.1007\/s10029-011-0839-4","article-title":"A Systematic Review on the Outcomes of Correction of Diastasis of the Recti","volume":"15","author":"Hickey","year":"2011","journal-title":"Hernia"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4934","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-017-5607-9","article-title":"The General Surgeon's Perspective of Rectus Diastasis.
