Today, the adoption of minimal invasive gynecologic procedures is expanding their routine use in clinical practice. Until recently, a diameter of 8 cm was the recommended maximal size for laparoscopic removal of fibroids. However, robot-assisted laparoscopy improved the capacity and the feasibility of the many gynecologic procedures.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the severity of symptoms and health-related quality of life in women who underwent laparoscopic versus robotic myomectomy for uterine fibroids.
  • Using a cohort of 33 laparoscopic and 31 robotic patients, researchers found significant improvements in symptom severity and quality of life for both groups one year post-surgery.
  • While both procedures showed comparable rates of improvement, the laparoscopy group had slightly better outcomes, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Study Objective: To report the feasibility of bulky pelvic lymph node resection with robotic-assisted single-port laparoscopy in a patient with cervical cancer before chemoradiation therapy.

Design: Resection of pelvic bulky lymph nodes with a narrated video of da Vinci single-port platform surgery (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting: Although not enough evidence exists to reveal that single-site surgery is better than traditional endoscopic surgery, several studies have suggested that single-site robotic surgery has certain advantages such as less postoperative analgesic use, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery.
