Summary
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy shows promising short-term outcomes for benign conditions in India. This minimally invasive approach demonstrated reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications compared to traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Gynecologic Oncology
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Hysterectomy is a frequent surgical procedure in gynecology for benign conditions.
- Evaluating robotic assistance for hysterectomy in the Indian population is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the short-term clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted hysterectomy.
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this approach in Indian patients.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective chart review of 113 patients undergoing robotic-assisted benign hysterectomy (December 2021 - July 2024).
- Data collected by a single senior surgeon included demographics, comorbidities, and surgical outcomes.
Main Results:
- Mean patient age: 45.39 years; BMI: 29.07 kg/m².
- Mean OR time: 178.41 min; Estimated blood loss: 23.85 mL; Hospital stay: 2.86 days.
- Low complication rate: 1.77% urine leakage, 0.88% intestinal obstruction.
Conclusions:
- Robotic-assisted hysterectomy offers potential benefits including reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays.
- The procedure demonstrates a favorable safety profile with minimal intra- and post-operative complications.
- Findings support the use of robotic assistance for benign hysterectomy in the Indian context.
