Abstract EN
Objectives.
A prospective study was carried out to compare vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and robotically assisted hysterectomy (RH) for benign gynecological disease.
Materials and Methods.
All patients who underwent hysterectomy from March 2010 to March 2012 for a benign disease were included.
Patients’ demographics per and post surgery results were collected from medical files.
A questionnaire was also conducted 2 months after surgery.
Results.
Sixty patients were included in the RH group and thirty four in the VH one.
Operative time was significantly longer in the RH group (132.1±5.7 versus 75.3±6.7 min; P<0.0001).
Blood loss and length of hospital stay were significantly reduced: 47±7 versus 125±20 ml; P<0.01, and 2.4±0.1 versus 3.3±0.2 days; P<0.0001, respectively.
Less pain was reported at D1 and D2 by RH patients, and levels of analgesia were lower compared to those observed in the VH group.
No differences were found regarding the rate of conversion to laparotomy, intra- or postoperative complications.
Conclusion.
Robotically assisted hysterectomy appears to reduce blood loss, postoperative pain, and length of hospital stay, but it is associated with longer operative time and higher cost.
Specific indications for RH remain to be defined.
