Abstract

Abstract: Background: To introduce a hybrid robotic single‐site myomectomy (H‐RSSM) technique that includes laparoscopic single‐site myoma excision followed by robotic single‐site suture and compare its surgical outcomes with those of conventional robotic single‐site myomectomy (RSSM) using the da Vinci Si surgical system. Methods: Medical records of 89 consecutive women who underwent H‐RSSM and 131 consecutive women who underwent RSSM were retrospectively reviewed. Patients characteristics and surgical outcomes were evaluated and compared between two groups. Results: The H‐RSSM group had a significantly reduced operation time (98.7 ± 31.7 vs 141.4 ± 54.4 min, P < .001) and lower estimated blood loss (131.5 ± 78.1 vs 212.3 ± 189.8 mL, P < .001). Peritoneal adhesions were reported significantly more in the H‐RSSM group than in the RSSM group (27.0% vs 9.2%, P < .001). Conclusion: H‐RSSM was found to be associated with reduced operative time and lower estimated blood loss. However, further prospective studies are needed to clarify these advantages.
