Comparison of health‐related quality of life of women undergoing robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery or laparotomy for gynecologic conditions: A cross‐sectional study

Abstract

Technological advances continue to revolutionize the surgical treatment of gynecologic conditions. 1 A recent innovation in the field of minimally invasive surgery is robot-assisted surgery, also known as robotic surgery, which offers the advantages of dimensional visual system, improved dexterity with wristed instrumentation, and elimination of hand tremors. The use of robotic equipment for gynecologic surgical procedures was first cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2005. Since then, robotic surgery has been used in gynecology for procedures including hysterectomy, myomectomy, tubal re-anastomosis, ovarian transposition, gynecologic oncology procedures, and pelvic reconstructive surgery. [2][3][4] In Turkey, robotic equipment (da Vinci® surgical system) in gynecology was first used for hysterectomy in 2008. 5 Robotic surgery in gynecology has been characterized by less blood loss, fewer transfusions, reduced hospital length of stay (LOS), and overall reduced complications, with patients advancing to a regular diet and early ambulation in the postoperative period. Therefore, in high-income countries, an increasing number of women are being

Global research hotspots and trends on robotic surgery in obstetrics and gynecology: a bibliometric analysis based on VOSviewer

“…Among 1,430 papers on robotic surgery research in obstetrics and gynecology in this research, we identified 64 papers on the quality of life. Kurt G et al' paper named "Comparison of health-related quality of life of women undergoing robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery or laparotomy for gynecologic conditions: A cross-sectional study" demonstrated that women in the robotic group had better quality of life than that in laparoscopic or laparotomy group after gynecologic surgery (51).…”

Rol del personal de salud ante la cirugía robótica

“…En la consola de comando, el cirujano se sienta cómodamente donde controla la consola, el brazo del robot se mueve de manera flexible en tiempo real de acuerdo con los movimientos del cirujano sin demora entre el cirujano y el robot; así mismo, un visor estereoscopio de alta definición, puedes mostrar imágenes en 3D. (Cordero et al, 2022;Cohen et al, 2022;Kurt et al,2022) Además, esta consola también es muy útil porque el cirujano responsable de su manejo puede operar a distancia del paciente, eliminando así la necesidad de batas o guantes quirúrgicos, lo que se convierte en una ventaja ya que ahorra recursos hospitalarios. (Parks, 2022; Así mismo, Redondo et at., (2023) informan que los sistemas o aparatos en los que se utiliza da Vinci incluyen: abdominal, cardíaco, toracoscópico, ginecológico y urológico.…”

Comparison between Laparoscopic and Robotic Approach for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Endometrial Carcinoma Women

“…In a recent study, Kurt et al compared the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of women who underwent robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and laparotomy for gynecological disease [ 41 ]. The authors found a higher HRQoL after robotic surgery, which might be due to an early ambulation, a faster recovery, and a decrease in hospital stay reported in the robotic group, compared with the laparotomy or laparoscopy groups [ 41 ].…”
