Feasibility evaluation of the Versius surgical system: robot-assisted hysterectomy for benign and malignant gynaecological lesions

摘要

INTRODUCTION: The application of minimally invasive surgery allows for radical and precise removal of the gynaecological lesion while simultaneously reducing the side effects and complications associated with surgical treatment. This paper aims to share our direct experience with the implementation of the CMR Versius robotic platform in the treatment of benign and malignant gynaecological lesions. METHODS: This study included patients who underwent hysterectomy in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Gynaecologic Oncology at the Regional Polyclinical Hospital in Grudziadz, Poland. A total of 50 patients were included in the study: 29 underwent laparoscopic surgery and 21 underwent robot-assisted surgery using the CMR Versius system. RESULTS: It was found that in the case of non-radical hysterectomy, the duration of surgery differed significantly (96.5 vs. 134.6 min, p < 0.01) in the groups of patients undergoing laparoscopic and robotic surgery. There were also no statistically significant differences in loss of blood parameters, rate of complications and conversions to other type of surgery after the laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. Both groups did not differ significantly in terms of hospitalisation time after surgery. CONCLUSION: Versius CMR surgical robot assistance provides safe and effective support for MIS procedures in gynaecology.
