Article Abstract
Objective: To assess surgical outcomes for robot-assisted tubal reanastomosis in a single institution.
Materials And Methods: Between March 2009 and January 2010, 10 patients underwent robot-assisted tubal ligation reversal (TLR) with a da Vinci S surgical system. Patient demographic data, including operative times, operative and postoperative complications, hospital stay, conversion to laparotomy and pregnancy rates were recorded.
Results: Mean age and body mass index for the patients were 37.7 (35-42) years and 28.9 (23.9-36.3) kg/m(2), respectively. The mean console time was 102.5 min and the mean total operation time was 130.6 (102-164) min. The mean hospital stay was 1.2 (1-2) days. There were no significant intra-operative or early-postoperative complications. All surgeries were completed robotically with no conversion to laparotomy. There were seven subsequent pregnancies in the study participants, representing a pregnancy rate of 70%, of which five were intrauterine pregnancies, one was an ectopic pregnancy, and one was an abortus.
Conclusion: Robot-assisted TLR is safe and feasible. This procedure may facilitate minimally invasive treatment for patients who want to regain their fertility without the aid of artificial reproductive techniques.

Article Synopsis
- - A rare case of right interstitial pregnancy occurred in a 32-year-old woman who had previously undergone a salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to an emergency room visit due to suspected ectopic pregnancy.
- - After various diagnostic procedures, including ultrasound and hysteroscopy, the patient underwent a successful robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery to remove the interstitial pregnancy while preserving her fertility.
- - The exact cause of this rare pregnancy is unclear, but it may involve fertilization in the intact tube and possible changes in the remaining tubal tissue that allowed the oocyte to implant.

A variety of procedures have been used for family planning. One of these is sterilization surgery, which can be reversed by a tubal reanastomosis. In the present report, we compare Robot-assisted tubal reanastomosis sterilization with other methods of family planning and discuss factors related to the choice of the approach.
