ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Hybrid total laparoscopic hysterectomy combines conventional laparoscopic surgery and robot-assisted devices the camera and assistant forceps are operated by a robotic device, whereas the surgeon performs laparoscopic procedures, enabling surgery with a completely fixed field of view and significantly reducing errors in forceps grasping and needle misalignment. Here, we examined whether using two arms of the Hugo™ robot-assisted surgery system, one for the camera and one for the assistant, would improve surgical accuracy compared with conventional total laparoscopic hysterectomy. MATERIALS AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUE The surgical system reduced surgeon errors in grasping the forceps during training and stabilized forceps operation. Compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery, the use of the surgical system did not result in different operative durations. The stable surgical procedure was considered a major advantage.DISCUSSION:
This new technique involving new equipment can improve surgeon training and performance. In the future, we will develop new techniques to improve surgical performance.Key words
