J Clin Med 2022; 11:4385. [PMID: 35956002 PMCID: PMC9369034 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11154385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
A variety of procedures have been used for family planning. One of these is sterilization surgery, which can be reversed by a tubal reanastomosis. In the present report, we compare Robot-assisted tubal reanastomosis sterilization with other methods of family planning and discuss factors related to the choice of the approach. The keywords used for the electronic search in PubMed were family planning, sterilization, Robot-assisted, tubal reanastomosis, depression, and regret. The decision in favor of or against sterilization surgery has been a sensitive issue for several years. Robot-assisted technology is a modern and precise approach. It has contributed to the flexibility of the decision between sterilization and its reversal through tubal reanastomosis, as well as enhanced the success rate of the surgery. Based on our analysis of the published literature, we believe that Robot-assisted tubal anastomosis is the optimum approach. However, to ensure the quality of health care, the surgeon must be well trained, well versed with the anatomy of the fallopian tubes, and thoroughly informed on the psychological impact of family planning.

Abstract
AIM Here, we retrospectively analyzed the success rate of reconstructive microsurgery for tubal infertility (RMTI) as a "first-line" approach to achieving tubal reversal and pregnancy after tubal infertility. PATIENTS AND METHODS During 9 consecutive years (2005-2014), 96 patients diagnosed with obstructive tubal infertility underwent RMTI (tubal reversal, salpingostomy, and/or tubal implantation) in our centre. The outcomes are presented in terms of tubal reversal rate and pregnancy and correlated with age, level of tubal obstruction, and duration of tubal infertility. RESULTS The overall tubal reversal rate was 87.56% (84 patients). The 48-month cumulative pregnancy rate was 78.04% (64 patients), of which seven ectopic pregnancies occurred (8.53%). The reversibility rate for women under 35 yo was 90.47%, with a birth rate of 73.01%. The reconstruction at the infundibular segments favored higher ectopic pregnancy rates (four ectopic pregnancies for anastomosis at infundibular level-57.14%, two for ampullary level-28.57%, and one for replantation technique-14.28%), with a significant value for p < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS In the context of IVF "industrialization", reconstructive microsurgery for tubal infertility has become increasingly less favored. However, under available expertise and proper indication, RMTI can be successfully used to restore a woman's ability to conceive naturally with a high postoperative pregnancy rate overall, especially in women under 35 yo.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the advantages of using robotic assistance in tubal reanastomosis surgery. DESIGN A narrated instructional video. SETTING University Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas (Canadian Task Force Classification III). PATIENT A 33-year-old woman, G2P2003, who regretted her prior tubal ligation; she continued to request for a tubal reversal with a desire to conceive in the near future. A single-site approach was decided on when she expressed concern for the cosmetic aftermath of multiport surgery. INTERVENTIONS Robotic single-site tubal reanastomosis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We performed robotic single-site tubal reanastomosis on the patient. We used the energy instruments of the monopolar hook and the bipolar slotted grasper. Entry was performed in the umbilicus, after which an abdominal survey was conducted to determine and locate the blocked fallopian tubes. A cold scissor, to avoid additional damage to the tubes, was used to resect the portion of the right blocked tube, and a neonatal feeding tube was inserted though both sections of the tube to ensure proper alignment during the repair. Additionally, a figure of eight suture was placed in the mesosalpinx to reduce the amount of tension during the tubal reanastomosis. We used 4 interrupted 5-0 PDS sutures, with 2 wristed needle drivers, to establish and precisely align the 2 sections of tube, first in the mucosal layer and then in the serosal layer, to achieve proper retention. Upon successful chromopertubation with methylene blue dye, the process was repeated on the left side. A successful tubal reanastomosis was completed and chromopertubation clearly demonstrated that the tubes were patent. Total operation time was approximately 100 minutes, resulting in a successful surgery. Estimated blood loss was only 20 mL. At 2 months after surgery a fluoroscopic hysterosalpingogram was conducted to verify the patency of the tubes. We concluded that both tubes were patent. CONCLUSIONS The single-site robotic approach provides a potent and valuable method for tubal reanastomosis, rendering difficult surgical techniques more accessible.

Abstract
Robotic surgery is the most dynamic development in the sector of minimally invasive operations currently. It should not be viewed as an alternative to laparoscopy, but as the next step in a process of technological evolution. The advancement of robotic surgery, in terms of the introduction of the Da Vinci Xi, permits the variable use of optical devices in all four trocars. Due to the new geometry of the "patient cart," an operation can be performed in all spatial directions without re-docking. Longer instruments and the markedly narrower mechanical elements of the "patient cart" provide greater flexibility as well as access similar to those of traditional laparoscopy. Currently, robotic surgery is used for a variety of indications in the treatment of benign gynecological diseases as well as malignant ones. Interdisciplinary cooperation and cooperation over large geographical distances have been rendered possible by telemedicine, and will ensure comprehensive patient care in the future by highly specialized surgery teams. In addition, the second operation console and the operation simulator constitute a new dimension in advanced surgical training. The disadvantages of robotic surgery remain the high costs of acquisition and maintenance as well as the laborious training of medical personnel before they are confident with using the technology.

Abstract
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery appears to be safe and feasible for definitive management of patients with severe endometriosis. Objectives: The primary objective was to examine the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted laparoscopy in a cohort of women treated surgically for stage III and IV endometriosis. The secondary objective was to explore whether the stage of endometriosis affected surgical outcome. Methods: In this cohort study, 43 women with severe endometriosis were treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy with unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for stage III (n = 19) or stage IV (n = 24) disease. Results: Histopathologic evaluation confirmed endometriosis in all patients, and fibroids were also shown in 12 patients. The median actual operative time was 145 min (range, 67–325 min), and the median blood loss was 100 mL (range, 20–400 mL). All but one of the procedures were completed successfully robotically. The length of hospital stay was 1 d for 95% of patients (41 of 43), and 2 patients had prolonged stays of 4 d and 5 d, respectively. One patient was readmitted for a vaginal cuff abscess; this represented the only complication identified in this series. Conclusions: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery appears to be a reasonably safe and feasible method for the definitive surgical management of women with severe endometriosis.
