Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) offers surgical precision for uterine fibroids but long-term reproductive outcomes require further study.
  • Uterine fibroids significantly impact fertility, necessitating effective surgical interventions.
  • Evaluating fertility outcomes after RALM is crucial for patient counseling and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the pregnancy rate following robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM).
  • To assess secondary reproductive outcomes, including live birth rates, conception methods, and the influence of fibroid characteristics on pregnancy.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of RALM as a fertility enhancement procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective observational study analyzed data from 86 patients undergoing RALM for fertility enhancement between August 2012 and May 2023.
  • Fertility outcomes were assessed, including spontaneous conception, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) success, and live birth rates.
  • Correlation between pregnancy outcomes and fibroid size, number, and position was examined.

Main Results:

  • The overall pregnancy rate after RALM was 86.04% (74/86), with a live birth rate of 73.25% (63/86).
  • Forty-nine patients conceived spontaneously, and 37 conceived via IVF, with mean conception time of 13.95 months.
  • No significant correlation was found between fibroid characteristics (size, number) and pregnancy or abortion outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) demonstrates high efficacy for fertility enhancement in women with uterine fibroids.
  • RALM facilitates successful pregnancies and live births, supporting its role in reproductive surgery.
  • Fibroid characteristics did not negatively impact pregnancy outcomes in this cohort.
