Esthetics Effect and the Modified Placement of Robotic-Assisted Single-Site Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery by Common Robotic Instruments and LAGIS Single-Site Port

Abstract

Objectives

The accuracy of robotic surgery has been recognized by many doctors, but traditional robotic surgery requires 4-5 puncture holes in the operating area. With the popularization and application of single port laparoscopic surgery, the aesthetic of abdominal incision of robotic surgery has been challenged. How to use the single-site platform to complete robot operation is a new field worthy of our exploration. Here we introduce a kind of technology innovation of robot-assisted single-site laparoscopic surgery through common robotic equipment and LAGIS single-site port.

Methods

From November 2018 to March 2019, 20 patients with cervical cancer or endometrial cancer admitted to the minimally invasive gynecological group were included. Single-hole robotic surgery was successfully performed in all 20 patients, with no additional assisted puncture and no conversion to laparotomy. The operation time of patients, intraoperative bleeding volume and hospitalization time were recorded and compared. Besides, the Intraoperative complications were observed and analyzed.

Results and conclusions

By comparison, we can find that the effect of this innovative single-hole robotic surgery is significantly better than that of traditional single-hole laparoscopy.
