Robotic TARUP / Robotic TARM - What is it?

Updated: Nov 3

Robotic TARUP (Trans Abdominal Retro-muscular Umbilical Prosthesis) or the TARM (Trans Abdominal Retro-muscular Meshplasty) is a term for a Robotic Hernia repair.


In this surgery a surgical Robot is used in an intra-abdominal approach and the mesh is placed behind the rectus abdominis muscle by creating a retro-muscular space and lowering the posterior rectus sheath-peritoneum complex. Thus the mesh gets sandwiched in between the layers of the abdominal wall resulting in a stronger repair as compared to an onlay or a sublay technique. The end result is a mesh that is extra-peritoneal leaving the intestines and other organs undisturbed.


Usage of Surgical robot allows a HD-3D vision with magnification, a tremor-free instrument control with very high degree of precision. The robotic arms allow secure and a strong closure of the hernial defect/s.


The robotic surgery is cost effective as it mitigates usage of a very costly dual-layered mesh and any fixation device.


For primary & recurrent ventral / umbilical / epigastric hernia Robotic TARUP / Robotic TARM is now a preferred procedure.


If you are suffering from any of such hernia or have been adviced a surgery for same kindly visit us for an opinion.
