Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Robotic surgery
  • Gynecologic oncology

Background:

  • Robotic surgery adoption is growing for hysterectomy.
  • New robotic systems aim to overcome limitations of traditional platforms.
  • The DEXTER Robotic Surgery System was developed to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and clinical performance of the DEXTER system in hysterectomy.
  • To evaluate perioperative and early postoperative outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective multicentre study of 34 patients undergoing robotic-assisted hysterectomy.
  • Patients had benign or low-risk malignant diseases.
  • DEXTER system integrated into existing surgical workflows.

Main Results:

  • No conversions to laparotomy, intraoperative complications, or transfusions.
  • Median operative time was 125.5 minutes, with 5 minutes docking time.
  • Median hospital stay was 2 days; two non-device-related adverse events occurred.

Conclusions:

  • DEXTER-assisted hysterectomy is safe and feasible, even during early learning phases.
  • The system allows for adaptable operating room workflows and procedural flexibility.
  • Further research with larger cohorts and longer follow-up is warranted.
