This paper proposes the formation of a multicenter collaboration group to establish a protocol clarifying the potential role of robotic surgery in uterine transplantation. The authors highlight that robot-assisted techniques, such as those using the da Vinci system, may enhance procedural safety by facilitating complex microvascular and vaginal anastomoses as well as ligament fixation. This approach aims to improve outcomes for women with uterine agenesis or infertility following early hysterectomy. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.

Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery, specifically robotic surgery, became a common technique used by gynecological surgeons over the last decade. The realization of the first human uterine transplantation commenced new perspectives in the treatment of uterine agenesia or infertility in women with history of hysterectomy at a young age. Robot-assisted technique may enhance the safety of the procedure by facilitating the microvascular anastomosis, vaginal anastomosis, and ligaments' fixation. This study proposes the formation of a multicenter collaboration group to organize a protocol with the aim to clarify the possible role of robotic surgery in uterine transplantation.
