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).

: Bowel endometriosis (BE) is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue within the muscular layer of the bowel wall. When BE does not result in the severe obstruction to fecal transit and in the absence of (sub)occlusive symptoms, the decision to perform surgery can be challenging, as intestinal procedures are associated with higher complication rates and long-term bowel dysfunction. This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with BE who avoided surgery, as well as to investigate the impact of the characteristics of BE nodules on the QoL and intestinal function.

Large bowel obstruction is most commonly due to colorectal carcinoma, diverticular disease or volvulus. Rare causes of large bowel obstruction like endometriosis may occur in premenopausal women and diagnosis of large bowel endometriosis can be challenging to confirm preoperatively. Hence, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for rare causes of large bowel obstruction like endometriosis.
