Trends in Route of Hysterectomy after the Implementation of a Comprehensive Robotic Training Program.

Objective: To evaluate trends in surgical approach for hysterectomy following the introduction and implementation of a comprehensive robotic surgery program.

Methods: A retrospective review of all hysterectomies done at two institutions, a community hospital and a suburban, tertiary-care teaching hospital, in the same health system over a five-year period, January 2010 through December 2014. A robotic surgery training program was implemented during the first year of the study and trends in route of hysterectomy were evaluated in the subsequent years.

Risk factors for trachelectomy following supracervical hysterectomy.

Introduction: We identified risk factors for trachelectomy after supracervical hysterectomy (SCH) due to persistence of symptoms.

Material And Methods: A retrospective case-control study in a university-affiliated hospital. Seventeen women who underwent a trachelectomy following SCH for nonmalignant indications between June 2002 and October 2014 were compared with 68 randomly selected women (controls) who underwent a SCH within the same time period.

Robotic Trachelectomy After Supracervical Hysterectomy for Benign Gynecologic Disease.

Background And Objectives: A renewed interest in the supra cervical approach to hysterectomy has created a cohort of patients with a retained cervix at risk of persistent symptoms requiring a subsequent trachelectomy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of robotic trachelectomy after a previous supracervical hysterectomy.

Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of women who had robotic trachelectomy after supracervical hysterectomy for benign gynecologic disease from January 2009 through October 2014.
