The Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) is a preoperative MRI-based score initially validated to predict surgical outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic treatment for deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). Its applicability in robotic-as…

We aim to evaluate the current role of robot-assisted surgery in urogynecology by comparing its outcomes and applications to those of laparoscopic surgery. We ran a computed search on PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Ov…

The objective is to compare the feasibility, safety, and complications of the novel robot-assisted system Hugo™ RAS to the established Intuitive da Vinci Xi system in different gynecologic surgeries. This is a retrospective and propensity s…

To compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted hysterectomy (RAH) for benign diseases using da Vinci SP (SP) and da Vinci Xi (Xi). A retrospective study with propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. An urban general hospital in Japan. …

We compare the success of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy between standard laparoscopy and robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) in patients with endometrial cancer. Patients with uterine epithelial tumour types undergoing staging surgery wer…

Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) offers a broader surgical field, enhanced visualization, and greater instrument maneuverability, suggesting potential advantages over traditional laparoscopic surgery (LPS), which is currently the gold standar…

To evaluate whether patient age influences the complexity of the surgical approach for bowel endometriosis, including the technique performed and the route of specimen extraction. Methods: Retrospective, multicenter observational study, set…

The advent of a single port robotic platform offers many potential improvements compared with single incision laparoscopy for both patients and surgeons. However, the technology will likely be prohibitively expensive for most hospitals. Thi…

This study aimed to estimate the learning curve for benign robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, defined as the number of cases required to stabilize intra- and postoperative complications, estimated blood loss and operative time. Thi…

Surgical treatment in patients over the age of 70 presents distinct challenges due to a combination of their overall health status and age-related physiological changes. Hysterectomy remains one of the most frequently performed surgeries in…

The effectiveness of cystoscopy in reducing urinary tract complications during robotic gynecologic surgery is poorly documented. Since the introduction of robotic surgery at our institution, cystoscopy has been consistently employed as a st…

Surgical duration for endometriosis treatment varies based on the anatomical complexity of the disease and the surgical technique applied. However, the independent effects of each of these factors remain poorly understood. We hypothesized t…

Minimally invasive hysterectomy is the preferred surgical approach for benign gynecologic conditions. The DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System was developed to address the limitations of conventional robotic systems, offering a mobile, modular, a…

Minimally invasive surgery was introduced to minimize some of the issues associated with open surgery. Its benefits include fewer complications, less pain and blood loss, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and less noticeable scars. …

To compare perioperative outcomes, postoperative complications, and overall survival among patients with endometrial cancer (EC) undergoing open hysterectomy (OH), laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH), or robot-assisted hysterectomy (RAH) using n…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced in the medical field, with a notable increase in its applications within obstetrics and gynecology. This study aims to identify key research trends in AI applications in this domain over rec…

Hysterectomy could be performed through a vaginal approach, laparotomy, or laparoscopy. Robotic surgery is a technique that can be defined as a particular type of laparoscopy, often used in interventions where microsurgery can help improve …

Uterine scar defects after cesarean sections are increasingly common and elevate the risk of life-threatening complications in subsequent pregnancies. From various sonomorphological measurement parameters, the residual myometrial thickness …

The integration of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is hindered by significant perception gaps among key stakeholders. This study evaluated the awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of RAS in Egypt t…

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of robotic single-port transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) compared to robotic multi-port vNOTES (RMP-vNOTES) for hysterectomy and associated procedures. 383 patie…

INTRODUCTION: The Single-Port (SP) surgical system represents a significant advancement in robotic surgery, facilitating procedures through a single incision while overcoming the previously reported limitations of single-site surgery. As th…

The objective was to assess outcomes of robotic-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) performed for hysterectomy and endometriosis excision. We conducted a retrospective case series across two hos…

Performing robotic hysterectomy (RH) on large uteri is a significant challenge. This study aims to investigate the impact of various risk factors on surgical outcomes and to identify the most effective surgical approach for performing RH on…

Robot-assisted gynecological surgery enhances precision, shortens recovery time, and reduces postoperative complications. However, its impact on patient-reported outcomes and their quality of life remains underexplored. This study evaluates…
