AI Article Synopsis
- The use of minimally invasive gynecologic procedures is becoming more common in clinical practice.
- Previously, the maximum size for removing fibroids laparoscopically was 8 cm, but advancements in technology have improved this.
- A video demonstration of a robotic myomectomy for a large fibroid is presented.
Article Abstract
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. Here, we report a video of robotic myomectomy of a huge myoma.

Introduction: Fibroids are the most common benign uterine tumors. There are different possibilities for surgical approaches, and evaluating the cost of these operations is fundamental in modern surgery. The aim of our study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted myomectomy (RAM) compared to open myomectomy (OM) in France.

Objective: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is utilised for gynaecological procedures globally, however evidence to support its application aside from hysterectomy is lacking. A systematic review to determine feasibility and safety profile of vNOTES for benign gynaecology was conducted.
Data Sources: A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS and CENTRAL was conducted, including all types of studies reporting vNOTES for gynaecological indications.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of minimally invasive myomectomy (MIM) and abdominal myomectomy (AM) performed by fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) specialists versus general OB/GYNs.
- It was a retrospective cohort study involving 609 myomectomies conducted between 2015 and 2020 at a quaternary care institution, with a focus on the number of fibroids excised and complication rates.
- Results indicated that MIGS subspecialists had better surgical outcomes, including fewer perioperative complications and shorter surgery times for MIM, while no significant differences were found for AM between the two groups.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess whether virtual preoperative evaluations have different effects on complication rates compared to in-person evaluations for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
- Conducted at a major academic hospital, the research analyzed data from nearly 3,000 patients who underwent procedures between 2016 and 2023, comparing outcomes between those who had virtual visits versus those who had in-person visits.
- Results showed no significant difference in overall complication rates (5.9% virtual vs. 6.3% in-person), indicating that virtual consultations are a viable alternative to in-person evaluations for this type of surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic Robot-assisted surgery is a cutting-edge advancement in surgical technology, particularly benefiting reproductive medicine by enhancing fertility and providing innovative treatment options for gynecological conditions.
- Compared to traditional open surgery, it offers reduced post-surgical hospital stays and blood loss, with mixed results on operative times due to varying surgeon experience.
- Despite challenges like high costs and lack of tactile feedback, recent improvements—including the integration of Artificial Intelligence—are enhancing its applications for fertility preservation in female cancer survivors and other reproductive surgeries.
