Laparoscopic assisted robotic myomectomy of a huge myoma; does robotic surgery change the borders in minimally invasive gynecology?

Abstract

Today, the adoption of minimal invasive gynecologic procedures is expanding their routine use in clinical practice. Until recently, a diameter of 8 cm was the recommended maximal size for laparoscopic removal of fibroids. However, robot-assisted laparoscopy improved the capacity and the feasibility of the many gynecologic procedures. Here, we report a video of robotic myomectomy of a huge myoma.
