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
