Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine whether robotic myomectomy (RM) resulted in any measurable clinical improvement over laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in subsequent cesarean delivery. Materials and methodsThe medical records of 273 patients who had undergone LM or RM followed by subsequent cesarean delivery for the period of September 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into LM (n = 222) and RM (n = 51) groups. The cesarean delivery outcomes between the two groups were compared. ResultsRM had significantly more myomas removed (6.0 ± 4.8 vs. 3.6 ± 3.5, p < 0.001) and a larger size of largest myoma (7.7 ± 2.4 vs. 6.1 ± 2.4, p = 0.002) at myomectomy compared with LM. However, there were no significant differences in the groups’ surgical characteristics at cesarean section, in their pregnancy complications, or in adhesion formation. ConclusionsAlthough more and larger myomas were removed in the RM group, RM showed similar cesarean delivery outcomes and adhesion formation to LM.
