RESUMO
Robotic-assisted surgery emerged as a technological advancement in the twentieth century, with gynaecology being a key adopter of this approach. The Senhance Surgical System has gained prominence for total hysterectomies from single-site experiences, but multi-site reporting are still lacking in present literature. This multi-site study, conducted at Klaipeda University Hospital and Academic Teaching Hospital Feldkirch, aimed to explore the safety and feasibility of total hysterectomies with the Senhance Surgical System. The study involved 295 cases, showcasing a well-established routine with minimal procedure times. The average age of the patients was 53.5 years (SD: 10.3 years), ranging from 18 to 80 years. The patients' BMI averaged 25.6 kg/m2 (SD: 6.2 kg/m2), ranging from a minimum of 17.7 kg/m2 to a maximum of 69.5 kg/m2. The duration of surgery varied between 30 and 215 min, with a median of 95 min (IQR: 81-116). The docking time was a median of 3 (IQR: 2-5) min and varied between 1.0 and 30.0 min, with a minimum to a maximum range of 1.0 to 122 min. Conversion (3 cases, 1%) and adverse events (6 cases, 2%) were infrequent. Additionally, robotic malfunctions were recorded minimally in 4,1% (12 cases) of the procedures, and pain on a 0-10 visual pain scale was reduced from mild [2.7 (± 1.2)] one day postoperative to minimal [0.9 (± 0.5)] at discharge. Overall, a great routine with the Senhance Surgical System proves good control and, thus, feasibility and safety. Therefore, the Senhance Surgical System is a viable option for total hysterectomy.
