What you need to know about robotic hernia repair

A hernia is when an internal part of the body, like an organ, pushes through a weakness in the muscle or wall and then can be felt through the skin. Traditional methods of repairing hernias require large incisions, a long time to perform the surgery, and a long convalescence period for the patient. However, robotic assistance is an emerging innovation that can change how surgeries are performed. We spoke to an expert surgeon in hernias about why robotic hernia repair is better than a traditional surgical procedure.

Bronchiectasis: A patient-friendly overview

Bronchiectasis is a long-term lung condition where the airways (bronchi) become widened and damaged, leading to excess mucus production. This damage makes it harder for the lungs to clear mucus, increasing the risk of infections. Over time, this creates a cycle of infection and inflammation that worsens lung function. Revered consultant in respiratory medicine Dr Shalin Diwanji explains more about the condition.
