Real-time near-infrared fluorescence-guided identification of the hypogastric nerve during robot-assisted nerve-sparing surgery for deep endometriosis.

Identification and preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves is essential for preventing postoperative functional disorders during surgery for deep endometriosis (DE); however, nerve-sparing surgery in patients with severe fibrosis and cul-de-sac …

A Review of Robotic vNOTES Surgery: Current Applications, Advantages, and Future Directions.

Over the past 500 years, the convergence of three distinct paths - vaginal surgery, laparoscopy, and robotic technologies - has enabled the development of robot-assisted vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic …

A single centre multidisciplinary team retrospective review of fifty cases of robot-assisted surgery for diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis.

Diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis (DTE) is considered rare, often presenting with non-specific cyclical thoracic symptoms. Diagnosis and surgical management remain challenging due to the need for cross-specialty expertise. This study …

Adoption of robot-assisted surgery for hysterectomy in France: a nationwide analysis of surgical routes and length of hospital stay (2020-2024).

Robot-assisted hysterectomy (RAH) has been progressively introduced in gynecologic surgery, yet nationwide data describing its uptake and early efficiency outcomes remain limited. We described trends in surgical route for hysterectomy …

Comparison of surgical outcomes between robot-assisted and conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy for stage IV endometriosis: A propensity score-matched analysis and review of the literature.

Single-Port surgical robot-assisted transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (v-NOTES) hysterectomy and double salpingectomy with pneumoperitoneum-free: surgical technique.

Hysterectomy is a frequent gynecological surgical technique. With the extensive application of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, the feasibility of robot-assisted transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (v-NOTES) has been demonstrated in …

Surgical Outcomes and Learning Curve of Robotic Single-Port Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) Hysterectomy Using the Da Vinci Single-Port System.

This study aims to assess the surgical outcomes and learning curve of robotic single-port vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) for hysterectomy in benign gynecologic conditions.

Robot-assisted versus standard laparoscopic approach of total hysterectomy for deep infiltrating endometriosis and adenomyosis (ENDORAS TRIAL): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Endometriosis affects 5-10% of women during reproductive years, with a 20-30% incidence among those with infertility. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affects 10-15% of women of childbearing age and 50% of …

Robot-assisted resection of diaphragmatic and hepatorenal recess peritoneal endometriosis: Two cases and a narrative review.

In this report, we describe two cases of diaphragmatic endometriosis with concurrent hepatorenal recess peritoneal involvement managed using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Xi platform. In both patients, …

Pioneering robotic surgery for complex gynecologic conditions: implementation beyond cancer care.

Minimally invasive surgery was introduced to minimize some of the issues associated with open surgery. Its benefits include fewer complications, less pain and blood loss, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, …
