Role of single port robotic surgery in gynecology

Robot-assisted Single-Site Laparoscopy (R-LSS) is a rapidly evolving minimally invasive technique. Although it is a very recent technology, the use of R-LSS have been increasingly report in gynecology, for both benign and malignant indications. This review aims to summarize the evolution of this innovative technique and to examine its feasibility and safety for gynecological surgical procedures. We evaluated studies dealing about R-LSS in gynecological surgery. We performed a comprehensive literature research on PubMed and the Cochrane Library in February 2024. Based on the study reviewed, R-LSS seems to be a feasible and effective alternative to other mini-invasive approach in gynecological surgery. R-LSS combine the advantages of robotics surgery with the aesthetic result of a single incision. Compare to Single-Site Laparoscopy, it restore triangulation of the instrument and improve visualization and ergonomic. R-LSS seems to be related to favourable intra-e post-operative outcomes. Although, further studies would be necessary allow us to draw any final conclusion.
