Objective: The aim of this research was to assess the role of robotics and its outcome in gynaecology both in benign and malignant cases in a single centre and provide a critical evaluation of possible advantages of robot assisted surgeries from surgeons' point of view. Design: A single centre, retrospective observational study. Population: All women who underwent robotic gynaecological surgeries between 2015 and 2022. Methods: The Da Vinci Si™ robotic system was used for these surgeries performed by all surgeons at our quaternary care centre, and data were acquired retrospectively through electronic medical records. Descriptive statistical analysis of data was done. Main outcome measures included operative time, estimated blood loss, hospital stay, complications and conversion rates in all cases. Age was analysed as a demographic data. Outcome: A total of 211 robotic cases were performed including 172 hysterectomies, 20 myomectomies and 19 cases for other gynaecological indications. The mean operating time or hysterectomy and myomectomy was 113 and 129 min, respectively, and haemoglobin drop was 1.34 and 1.2 g/dl, respectively. No conversions to laparotomy were observed in either of the groups. The surgeries for 19 benign gynaecological conditions included ovarian cystectomy, cesarean scar repair and chronic cornual ectopic. Conclusion: Robotic surgical system helps accomplish several procedures with exceptional laparoscopic skills. Robotic surgery is safe in all types of gynaecological procedures and is a promising alternative for comprehensive gynaecologic surgical care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
