Robotic Hysterectomy Using a Sealing Device: Differences In Complications and Pain Scores Between Small and Large Uteri.

CONCLUSION: In this retrospective cohort study of robotic hysterectomy using a sealing device, there was no difference in perioperative outcome between small and large uteri, but we could demonstrate shorter operative times compared to previous reports on large uteri, most likely due to the versatility of the application of the EndoWrist® Vessel Sealer (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, California). Given the known difference in complication rate and length of hospitalization between small and large uteri in laparoscopic hysterectomy, this study shows that robotic hysterectomy is a recommended procedure for benign indications in small, and especially large uteri.
