Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery
  • Urogynecology

Background:

  • Symptomatic uterine fibroids often necessitate surgical intervention.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred for conservative treatment.
  • Robotic surgery offers enhanced precision and visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the initial cases of robotic single-site (RSS) myomectomy.
  • To evaluate the use of the Da Vinci Si Surgical System with wristed, semi-rigid instrumentation.
  • To assess the safety and reproducibility of this novel surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A case series design was employed.
  • Four patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids underwent RSS myomectomy.
  • Data on patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes were collected.

Main Results:

  • All four RSS myomectomies were successfully completed.
  • Median operative time was 210 minutes, with median blood loss of 103 mL.
  • No operative complications or instrument failures occurred; patients experienced short recovery times.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic single-site myomectomy with wristed instrumentation is a feasible procedure.
  • The safety and indications for this technique require further validation with increased experience.
  • This approach holds promise for conservative management of uterine fibroids.
