RESUMO
The aim of this case report was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of nerve-sparing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (SCP) performed with a minimally invasive approach by using 2.9-mm Senhance ® surgical robotic system (Senhance ® , TRANSENTERIX Inc., USA). A 60-year-old Caucasian woman with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse-Q (POP-Q) Aa: 2, Ba: 3, C: +4, Bp:2, Ap: 2, TVL:10 underwent subtotal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with nerve-sparing SCP performed using the Senhance surgical robotic system.. The urogynaecological assessment on the day of discharge and at the 3 month follow-up showed surgical anatomic success (<2 POP-Q stage). The patient was fully satisfied with the cosmetic result. This is the first case of SCP performed with this innovative system. SCP using "Senhance ®" is a feasible and effective approach with good results in terms of operative time, cosmesis, postoperative pain and length of hospitalisation.
RESUMO
This pilot study was aimed to value the feasibility and safety of Senhance Robotic Platform for hysterectomy in obese patients. Ten obese patients (30 < BMI < 40) underwent elective Senhance total extrafascial hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at the Division of Gynecologic Oncology of "Policlinico A. Gemelli" Foundation, Rome, Italy. Perioperative and postoperative outcomes data were recorded. The median age was 60 years (range 51-75) and the median BMI was 33.3 kg/m2 (range 30.4-38.3). The median uterine weight was 112.5 g (range 77-225). Indication to total hysterectomy was early-stage (FIGO Stage IA) endometrial cancer in 100% of patients. The median operative time (OT) was 110 min (70-200). The median docking time was 10.5 min (5-25). The median estimated blood loss was 100 mL (50-200). No conversions to laparotomy were recorded. No intra- and 30-day postoperative complications were registered. The median ileus was 17 h (12-36) and the median time to discharge was 2 days (1-4). The median VAS scores registered at 2, 4, 12, and 24 h were, respectively, 2 (1-3), 2 (1-3), 4 (1-8), and 3 (1-5). Our study results suggest that Senhance platform could be safe for hysterectomy even in obese patients. More clinical data are needed to determine whether this approach would offer any additional benefits in a new middle line between standard laparoscopy and robotics.

OBJECTIVES: During the last decade endoscopic surgical procedures have been constantly evolving. The latest innovation in ultra-minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the percutaneous technology (Percuvance™ Percutaneous Surgical System (PSS), Teleflex Inc., USA). We compared surgical outcome of hysterectomy, in a retrospective cohort study using the most recent MIS techniques as single-site (LESS) surgery, 3mm laparoscopy (MiniLPS) and percutaneous system (PSS) with standard laparoscopy (LPS). STUDY DESIGN: This is a matched retrospective cohort study. Endometrial Hyperplasia/Early stage endometrial cancer or benign pathology were the indication for surgery. Data of laparoscopic hysterectomies performed between May 2013 and April 2016 using PSS, LPS, MiniLPS, and LESS were collected and compared. RESULTS: The characteristics of each group were similar. The median Operative time (OT) was significantly longer in LESS compared to all other groups (120min [range 55-165] in LESS, 91min [range 60-180] in MiniLPS, 70min [range 55-230] in LPS and 65 [range 40-180] in PSS; p=0.0001). No significant differences among the 4 groups were observed in terms of estimated blood loss, conversion to laparoscopy or laparotomy, and intra e post-operative complications. Statistically significant differences were recorded in median VAS 24h (2 [range 0-3] in PSS, 2 [range 0-3] in MiniLPS, 3 [range 2-5] in LESS and 2 [range 1-5] in LPS; p=0.0001). The average time of discharge was (1day [range 1-3] in PSS, 1day [range 1-2] in MiniLPS, 1days [range 1-2] in LESS and 1day [range 1-3] in LPS; p=0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Data show that the effort to minimize the impact of surgical invasiveness can be feasible and could improve the advantages, not only in terms of aesthetic outcomes, even if the differences among the endoscopic approaches have not a relevant clinical impact. The technology innovations like PSS maintain the same triangulation between instruments as standard LPS with an evident decrease of the invasiveness thanks to reduced instruments size, even if the lack of suitability of bipolar energy, that require a multifunction instrument, remain a limit of these instruments.
