Laparoscopic hysterectomy with and without a robot: Stanford experience Nezhat C; Lavie O; Lemyre M; Gemer O; Bhagan L; Nezhat CJSLS 2009[Apr]; 13 (2): 125-8OBJECTIVE: To compare robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH) with a matched control group of standard laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). METHODS: A retrospective chart review of all RALH was performed. All cases were compared with a matched control group of standard LH. Comparisons were based on Fisher's exact, Mann-Whitney, and exact chi-square tests. RESULTS: Between January 2006 and August 2007, 26 consecutive RALH were performed (10 with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). These were compared with 50 matched control standard LH (22 with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). The 2 groups were matched by age (P=0.49), body mass index (P=0.25), gravidity (P=0.11), previous abdomino-pelvic surgery (P=0.37), and size of the excised uterus (P=0.72). Mean surgical time for RALH was 276 minutes (range, 150 to 440) compared with 206 minutes (range, 110 to 420) for standard LH (P=0.01). Blood loss, hospitalization length, and postoperative complications were not significantly different. No conversion to laparotomy was reported in either group. CONCLUSION: Robotic technology was successfully used for hysterectomy with a similar surgical outcome to that of standard LH. This technology offers exciting potential applications, especially for remote telesurgery, and to facilitate teaching of endoscopic surgery.|*Robotics[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hysterectomy/*methods[MESH]|Laparoscopy/*methods[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH] |
