Robotic-assisted Gynecological Surgery in Older Patients - a Comparative Cohort Study of Perioperative Outcomes.

Because of current demographic developments, a hypothesis was proposed whereby older female patients aged > 65 years can be safely operated using minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgery, despite having more preoperative comorbidities. A comparative cohort study was designed to compare the age group ≥ 65 years (older age group, OAG) with the age group < 65 years (younger age group, YAG) after robotic-assisted gynecological surgery (RAS) in two German centers. Consecutive RAS procedures performed between 2016 and 2021 at the Women's University Hospital of Jena and the Robotic Center Eisenach to treat benign or oncological indications were included in the study.

Vaginal cysts: An important differential diagnosis in the anterior compartment.

Introduction: Benign anterior-vaginal-wall cysts (0.5-1% prevalence) often mimic other structures (e.g.
