Robotic-assisted hiatal hernia repairs with and without magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA): short- and long-term patient-centered outcomes in a single academic center.

Introduction: Hiatal Hernia (HH) repairs are commonly performed using a laparoscopic (L) approach. Recently, the robotic-assisted (RA) approach was introduced. The objective of the study is to describe our experience and analyze patient-centered clinical outcomes of RA-HH repairs with and without MSA (Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation).
