The mean age of 46.12±6.77 and the mean BMI 28.89±5.02 kg/m2 in RH group was higher in RH group when compared to RM and RE groups. The mean docking time over 10 years was 10.59 minutes and mean console time was 96.35±47.77 minutes and both were significantly lower in the last 5 years when compared to first 5 years. 49.9% patients did not require intravenous analgesics beyond 24 hours and only 7.2% needed beyond 48 hours. 44.7% had less than 24 hours of hospital stay and 1.1% stayed beyond 48 hours. The mean hemoglobin drop was 1.109±0.7531 g%, significantly higher in RM group. The mean specimen weight in RM group was 323.8 g (200–1,372 g) and 84 cases had multiple leiomyomas. The commonest indication of robotic surgery was fibroid uterus.Conclusion: Robotic surgery for benign gynecologic surgery feasible and safe. It has equivalent outcomes when compared to laparoscopic surgery and superior when compared with laparotomy. Using robots to reduce open and repeat surgery for injury corrections could translate to reductions in the over-all economic burden of treatment.","PeriodicalId":240488,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologic Robotic Surgery","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123372408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As robotic surgery is becoming more common, surgical tools regarding robotic surgery is also developing at a fast rate. Initially, robotic surgery was performed using multi-port; however, with gaining popularity with single-port surgery, single-port robot was developed. Therefore, the field of single-port robot surgery is expanding and the number of cases are increasing. In single site robotic surgery, the size of incision limits the number of equipment that may simultaneously enter the operation field to one camera and two robot arms. Therefore, in cases where an additional laparoscopic instrument is needed, another incision has to be made. This video contains single site robotic surgery using a multi-articulating instrument performed on two patients. The first case is a single-site robotic surgery using a multi-robot system and the second case is a single-port robotic surgery using single-port robot system. In both patients, total hysterectomy and both salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. Additional sentinel lymph node dissection was done in the single-site surgical case (first case) and pelvic lymph node dissection in singleport surgical case (second case). Artisential was used for both cases. The Artisential allowed multiple degrees of movement and therefore more complex techniques were able to be performed compared to rigid or straight instruments. In surgeries that would previously have required an additional incision, we were able to successfully complete the single-site or single-port robotic endometrial cancer staging using the Artisential.","PeriodicalId":240488,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologic Robotic Surgery","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125153673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi-site robotic myomectomy (MRM) is widely used and is a safe, minimally invasive surgery. Single-site robotic myomectomy (SSRM) is further expected to provide potential advantages such as better cosmesis and easier fibroid removal. Compared with MRM, SSRM has technical limitations, including a restricted range of motion, especially for large-sized myomas; less powerful suturing in thick myometrium; and non-articulating instruments. To overcome these limitations, additional ports are used, larger skin incisions are made, and the procedure is combined with laparoscopy. However, these adjustments may neutralize the advantages of a single-port surgery. Here we describe our novel gradual turning out method, which enables us to do SSRM without adjustments. Additionally, we introduce know-how on how to accomplish an SSRM.","PeriodicalId":240488,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologic Robotic Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128670457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although there is a concern about the oncological outcomes after RS in cervical cancer, it is proven to be safe and effective in endometrial cancer. However, RS has some drawbacks such as the loss of tactile feedback. Complications can therefore occur, and are usually multi-factorial. These can be related to the nature of the operations, the physical fitness of the patients, the control and choice of the devices, and more importantly, the experience and knowledge of the surgical team. To minimise the risk of complications, we need to understand the limitations of RS and have a proper set-up of the operations. It is important to anticipate these potential complications before and during the operations. And a careful setup of the operations, including the instrument set-up, patients’ positioning, port placement, and communication with the anesthetists and surgical team, are crucial in ensuring the safety and success of robotic surgery. In this article, different complications and their preventive measures at set-up were discussed.","PeriodicalId":240488,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologic Robotic Surgery","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132766651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
