Studies on the robot-assisted single port laparoscopic surgery of gynecological malignant tumors

Objective To explore the technique of single port laparoscopy assisted by the third generation SI class Da Vinci robot in treatment of gynecological malignant tumors. Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of 8 patients with robot-assisted single port laparoscopy of gynecological malignant tumor from June to August 2018 in Changzheng Hospital. Of the 8 patients [aged 34–51 (43±6) years and BMI of 20.1–26.3 (23.2±3.1) kg/m2], 4 were early endometrial cancer and another 4 were early cervical cancer. With the help of porous instruments of ordinary robot system and Lagiport single-site multi-channel platform, the third generation SI class Da Vinci robotic surgical system was used to complete the robot assisted transumbilical single port laparoscopic surgery. Four patients with early endometrial cancer received total hysterectomy + double-adnexy resection + sentinel lymph node biopsy, and another 4 with early cervical cancer received radical resection of cervical carcinoma.
