During robotic-assisted surgery, Dr. Muffoletto operates from a nearby console, guiding tiny surgical instruments inserted through small incisions.

These instruments offer:
– Enhanced precision and control
– 3D high-definition visualization
– Greater flexibility than the human hand

This setup allows the surgical team to repair complex hernias through tiny openings — reducing trauma, minimizing scarring, and supporting a smoother recovery.

In a world of medical subspecialties, Dr. Muffoletto values something more foundational: continuity of care.

As a general surgeon, his training emphasized treating the whole patient, not just the condition, and that’s a philosophy he brings into every consultation, every surgery, every step of recovery.

This patient had a hernia at the site of a previous surgical incision.

Using a robotic-assisted extraperitoneal technique, Dr. Muffoletto repaired the defect and reinforced the repair with mesh, all through small incisions and without entering the abdominal cavity.

Minimally invasive. Precisely repaired.
