Robotic Tuboplasty

Abstract

IntroductionTubal ligation is used worldwide as a method of contraception. Many of these express regret due to a change in family circumstances such as death of a child, an improved economic situation, or a change in marital status, and then request sterilization reversal. The robotic technology allows surgeons to perform sterilization reversals with all the advantages of minimally invasive procedures with far more precision than conventional laparoscopy.MethodsPort placement is same as that of pelvic robotic surgeries. Robot docked from in between the legs. The surgical procedure consists in removing abnormal tissue from both the portions of the tube and to reapproximate the healthy tubal segments with microsuturing.ResultsThe robotic technique has comparable results to conventional minilap.ConclusionMagnified vision and the improved dexterity allow for greater precision required in tubal reanastomosis. Gives the benifits of minimal invasive surgery to the patient. IntroductionTubal ligation is used worldwide as a method of contraception.
