Comparison of Robotic vs. Standard Surgical Procedure on Postoperative Nursing Care of Women Undergoing Total Abdominal Hysterectomy.

Abstract

This exploratory study was conducted to determine if the postoperative course is different for women undergoing robotic-assisted total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) compared to women undergoing traditional (open) TAH. This study adds to the evidence regarding potential benefits and complications of robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery, and identifies specific areas for further research.
