Robotic-Assisted Systems in Gynecology: A Systematic Review

Gynecological surgery involves a range of surgical procedures addressing organs within the female pelvic region, such as the uterus, ovaries, cervix, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. Common procedures include hysterectomy, laparoscopic surgery, fibroid removal, myomectomy, and ovarian cyst removal. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of robotic surgery in gynecology, specifically focusing on Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). It also presents a comparative analysis of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopic and open surgery. The study explores various devices and platforms utilized in robotic surgery, emphasizing the assessment of operative times, surgical outcomes, and challenges associated with different techniques. Research findings suggest that robotic surgery generally results in shorter post-surgical hospitalization periods than open surgery, with differences that are less distinct compared to laparoscopic surgery. The decision to incorporate robotic surgery into mainstream gynecological procedures is likely to hinge on future advancements and innovations in this field.
