Multicenter Study Comparative Study Observational StudyA Comparison of Outcomes Between Robotic-Assisted, Single-Site Laparoscopy Versus Laparoendoscopic Single Site for Benign Hysterectomy.
To compare the perioperative outcomes, including estimated blood loss, conversion to open laparotomy, length of stay, and total operative time of hysterectomies using robotic-assisted, single-site laparoscopy with laparoendoscopic single site (LESS) for benign indications. ⋯ This preliminary observational study found that the robotic-assisted, single-site group had a statistically significant decrease in length of hospital stay, but also experienced an increase in total operative time. There were no conversions to open laparotomies.
