Initial Outcomes and Methodologies of a Novel Single-Port Robotic Surgery in Gynecology.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The study aims to elucidate the initial results and methodologies employed in utilizing a recently introduced single-port (SP) robotic surgical system for the management for benign and malignant gynecological disorders.

METHODS

A total of 33 patients with benign or malignant gynecologic conditions between 2022 and 2024 were included, all patients underwent SP robotic surgery.

RESULTS

A total of 33 patients were successfully enrolled. The study participants demonstrated a mean age of 43.9 ± 11.9 years, a mean body mass index of 21.9 ± 3.0 kg/m, a mean operating time of 105.5 ± 52.4 minutes, and a mean estimated blood loss of 34.6 ± 30.5 mL. There were no cases of conversion to multiport laparoscopy or laparotomy, and only 1 patient developed postoperative fever. The postoperative pain score fell within an acceptable range, and satisfactory scar healing was seen in all cases.

CONCLUSIONS

The practicality and safety of the EDGE SP1000 system have been demonstrated in a subset of patients. However, more study and specific surgical skills are required to completely comprehend the benefits and long-term outcomes of robotic surgical systems.
