Article Synopsis
- Hysterectomy can lead to complications like vaginal nodules, which may signal issues such as cancer or endometriosis, and in rare cases, abdominal organ prolapse.
- This report details a rare case of a 55-year-old woman's prolapsed epiploica of the colon at the vaginal cuff, discovered after she had a robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy for cancer.
- Histological analysis indicated fat necrosis and calcification in the vaginal polyp, underscoring the need for comprehensive examination of such nodules to rule out serious conditions.
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).
