Abstract:
Background: Robotic single-site plus two port myomectomy (RSTM) was designed to reduce the number of incision sites while retaining the advantage of conventional robotic multi-port myomectomy (CRM). This study aimed to explicate RSTM and compare surgical outcomes between it and CRM. Methods: The medical records of 146 patients who had undergone RSTM and 173 who had undergone CRM were reviewed. The surgical outcomes between them were compared by propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Results: The PSM analysis showed no statistically significant inter-group differences in patient characteristics. With regard to surgical outcomes, the RSTM group enjoyed shorter operative time (148.30 ± 44.8 vs. 162.3 ± 47.4 min, p = 0.011), less hemoglobin decrement (1.8 ± 0.9 vs. 2.3 ± 1.0 g/dL, p < 0.001), and shorter duration of hospital stay (5.4 ± 0.7 vs. 5.8 ± 0.7 days, p < 0.001). Conclusions: RSTM was associated with shorter operative time relative to CRM. Further prospective studies are needed in order to more fully investigate the advantages of RSTM.
