Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Myomectomy Is an Improvement Over Laparotomy in Patients With a Limited Number of Fibroids

Completed

Conditions studied: Fibroid Uterus

In brief

This is a retrospective, case-control study of 75 patients having undergone a robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy were compared to patients having undergone myomectomy via laparotomy. Both groups had 3 or fewer fibroids confirmed by pre-operative MRI or on final pathology report. Charts were reviewed for surgical and post-operative variables
