Objective:
To present a case of successful robotic assisted laparoscopic trachelectomy.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
Tertiary 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.
