Abstract

ObjectiveTo present a case of successful robotic assisted laparoscopic trachelectomy.DesignCase report.SettingTertiary care facility.Patient(s)A 40-year-old female with history of severe endometriosis and adhesions presented with persistent pain and bleeding after abdominal supracervical hysterectomy after failed attempt for laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy.Intervention(s)Robot-assisted laparoscopic trachelectomy and treatment of associated pelvic disease.Main outcome measure(s)Successful completion of robot-assisted trachelectomy.Result(s)There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications and minimal blood loss. At 10 months' follow-up the patient was doing well with resolution of her symptoms.Conclusion(s)Robotic surgery may bridge the gap between laparotomy and laparoscopy for trachelectomy in complicated cases.
