Robotic Excision of a Canal of Nuck Cyst During Bilateral Inguinal and Left Femoral Hernia Repair: A Case Report.

Robotic surgery has become the preferred approach in many surgical procedures due to advantages involving reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery time, and enhanced dexterity. Here, we describe the case of a 62-year-old woman with an unremarkable past medical history who presented with painful swelling in the right inguinal region for two months. Ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed, fluid-filled ovoid structure with a small narrow neck extending superiorly within the right inguinal canal, consistent with a canal of Nuck cyst. This case report describes, to the best of our knowledge, the first preoperatively diagnosed canal of Nuck cyst and concurrent bilateral inguinal and femoral hernia repair resected robotically and highlights the feasibility of adopting a robotic versus a laparoscopic approach.
