The rapid development of minimally invasive surgery has promoted the continuous innovation of hernia and abdominal wall surgery. As an extension and upgrade of laparoscopic technology, the robotic surgery system has been widely used in the field of hernia and abdominal wall surgery with its advantages of three-dimensional high-definition vision, rotatable wrist surgical instruments and stability of filtering tremor. The purpose of this paper is to systematically describe the characteristics of robotic surgery technology platform, its clinical application status in hernia and abdominal wall surgery, and the evidence of high-level evidence-based medicine, to explore the key issues such as cost-effectiveness, learning curve and standardized training, and to look forward to the future development direction of this field, so as to provide reference for clinical practice and future research.
