This study demonstrates that single-site robot-assisted myomectomy using a multilumen port is a safe and reproducible technique. It enables surgeons to perform myomectomy and contained tissue extraction through a single umbilical incision for select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Uterine fibroids are common, often requiring surgical intervention.
  • Traditional myomectomy can lead to significant scarring and longer recovery times.
  • Single-site robotic surgery offers potential for reduced invasiveness and improved cosmetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a step-by-step technique for single-site robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy.
  • To promote the safe adoption of this minimally invasive surgical approach.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and initial outcomes of the technique.

Main Methods:

  • A surgical video tutorial details the procedure.
  • The technique involves a single 2.5-cm umbilical incision for port placement.

  • Robotic instruments, including wristed needle drivers, facilitate precise dissection and repair.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully applied in 10 patients.
    • Median operative time was 202 minutes with minimal blood loss (median 87.5 mL).
    • No conversions to multiport or open surgery were required, and no major complications occurred.

    Conclusions:

    • Single-site robot-assisted myomectomy is a safe and reproducible procedure.
    • The technique facilitates contained, extracorporeal tissue extraction.
    • This approach offers a viable option for select patients with low tumor burden.
