Robotic single-port totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair with excision of a canal of Nuck cyst using the da Vinci SP system: a video vignette
Article in Journal of minimally invasive surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The da Vinci single‑port (SP) robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) provides enhanced dexterity and visualization through a single incision, making it effective for complex groin pathology in women. We report a 46‑year‑old female with a long history of right inguinal bulge and pain. Preoperative imaging revealed a cystic lesion over 3 cm along the round ligament, closely associated with an indirect hernia sac, consistent with a canal of Nuck cyst. Because complete excision is essential to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence, robotic SP totally extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair with cyst excision was performed. A 10 × 15‑cm self‑adhesive mesh was deployed using the Hansol‑roll method. Operative and console times were 58 and 45 minutes, respectively. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 1 without complications. This case highlights the safety and efficacy of robotic SP TEP repair for simultaneous management of hernia and canal of Nuck cyst.
