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.

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, …

Cervical endometriosis mimicking cervical adenocarcinoma: A case report.

Cervical endometriosis is a rare benign condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the cervix. Its clinical and imaging features resemble those of cervical adenocarcinoma, making preoperative diagnosis …

On-demand robotic surgery for hysterectomies: A combination of the best of robotic and laparoscopic approach.

The advantage of robot-assisted hysterectomy over standard laparoscopy remains controversial. Conventional robots offer limited flexibility to the surgeon. The novel, Dexter robotic system™, allows integration and easy switch between the …
