Symptoms & Causes

Robotic surgery may be recommended for patients with:

Common causes of these conditions include weakened abdominal muscles, obesity, poor diet, chronic digestive issues, and untreated gastrointestinal problems.

Prevention

While not all surgical conditions can be avoided, some steps help reduce risk:

• Maintaining a healthy body weight

• Eating a balanced diet rich in fiber and low in unhealthy fats

• Regular exercise to strengthen core muscles

• Early medical consultation for persistent abdominal symptoms

• Managing lifestyle-related risks like obesity and smoking
