Robotic myomectomy: a review of indications and techniques.

Abstract

The primary surgical techniques used in myomectomy are open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and, recently, robot-assisted ("robotic") surgery. The optimal surgical treatment of myomas is still a subject of debate because of the limitations of minimally invasive techniques and the disadvantages of laparotomy. In this article, the authors discuss the technique and the application of robotic myomectomy in the treatment of uterine fibroids.
