Objective: To compare the outcomes of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair using two different robotic systems.
Design: This retrospective comparative study analysed the surgical outcomes of VVF repair utilizing two different robotic platforms: the Hugo RAS Medtronic robot and the da Vinci Xi robot.
Methods: VVF repair was performed with da Vinci Xi system (n = 15) and Hugo RAS Medtronic robot (n = 11) in a non-randomized fashion.
Article Synopsis
- Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is prevalent among women over 50, with sacrocolpopexy being a common surgical treatment, though it can lead to complications like bowel dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
- This study compares the outcomes of robotic sacrocolpopexy and ileopectopexy, analyzing data from 35 patients who underwent these procedures between 2021 and 2023.
- Results indicated that ileopectopexy had no complications compared to sacrocolpopexy, which had some bowel issues, suggesting that ileopectopexy could be a safer alternative, although further research is necessary to confirm these results.
Introduction: This study evaluates the safety and feasibility of the Medtronic Hugo robot-assisted surgery (RAS) system in gynecological and urogynecological procedures. Through a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the first 100 surgeries performed at Apollo Hospitals Chennai, we aim to provide insights into the system's effectiveness, including outcomes, complications, and overall surgical efficiency in major gynecological and urogynecological operations.
Methods: A single experienced robotic surgeon conducted the surgeries, including hysterectomies (n=66).
