Introduction:
Robot-assisted surgery is spreading across surgical specialities as a less invasive alternative to conventional laparoscopic and open surgery.
Case Presentation:
In this report, robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy and robot-assisted nephroureterectomy were performed simultaneously for a 69-year-old Japanese female with giant cervical polyp and ureteral cancer. All specimens could be removed from the vagina. The operative time was 379 min, the estimated intraoperative blood loss was 29 mL, and the patient was discharged on the sixth postoperative day without complications.
Conclusion:
We reported our experience with simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of simultaneous robot-assisted nephroureterectomy and robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery.
