      <abstract>
        <p>A 55-year-old female has a history of multiple abdominal surgeries including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy, tubal ligations, and multiple cesarean sections through a low transverse (Pfannensteil) incision. Cross-sectional imaging demonstrated multiple midline hernias ranging from 1–3 cm, a rectus diastasis measuring 4 cm wide, and intraparietal cesarean section (C-section) hernia (Zanellato Type II). She underwent a robotic retromuscular extended totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) repair wherein her ventral midline hernias, rectus diastasis, and intraparietal hernia were all repaired and reinforced with wide mesh overlap. This case highlights the strengths of an eTEP approach, the decision making behind considering all of a patient’s abdominal wall pathology, and the considerations with intraparietal hernias post C-section.</p>
