Background: This retrospective study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes and morbidity of the vascular control technique in robotic myomectomy with the conventional technique.
Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent robotic myomectomy using laparoscopic vascular clamps in 2017 to 2019 (the practice change cohort) were retrospectively comparted with 32 case-matched consecutive patients who underwent the conventional robotic myomectomy (the historical cohort). The primary outcome was the operative blood loss and hemoglobin change.
Results: The two cohorts had similar baseline characteristics. The mean operative blood loss and hemoglobin changes were lower in the practice change cohort than in the historical cohort (P < .001 and P = .005, respectively). Other postoperative outcomes were similar between two cohorts.
Conclusion: The vascular control technique in robotic myomectomy appears to be effective and safe in the management of selective patients with symptomatic myomas.

Uterine fibroids occur frequently in women during the reproductive age, and they are rarely associated with clinical meaning because of their benign characteristics and asymptomatic clinical presentation. Sometimes, uterine fibroids are symptomatic and associated with compression syndrome, infertility, chronic pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. All need further intervention and treatment.

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 gynecological 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 gynecological 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.
