Single assistant vs dual assistant robotic surgery for robot‐assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy using da Vinci Xi or X

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Single assistant vs dual assistant robotic surgery for robot‐assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy using da Vinci Xi or X Via The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery Abstract Background To verify the usefulness of single assistant robotic surgery (SA-RS) using da Vinci Xi or X performed for total hysterectomy. Methods The SA-RS group (S-group) includes surgeries in which the surgeon performed all surgical operations other than that of the uterine manipulator, while the dual assistant robotic surgery group (D-group) includes surgeries performed by the surgeon with two assistants. In S-group, the forceps and camera were replaced during surgery in cases of a large uterus with limited range of motion of the instrument. A comparative study of patient background, intraoperative and postoperative results and surgery-related cost was performed between the two groups. Results No significant differences were observed between the two groups. On the contrary, S-group showed a significant reduction in preparation time and wound closure time, and a savings of $768. Conclusion SA-RS for total hysterectomy was possible , which is excellent in terms of cost, esthetics, and manpower This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
