Abstract

<bold>Objective: </bold>To compare the surgical outcomes between Reduced-Port Robotic Surgery (RPRS) using the Octo-Port system and conventional 2 port laparoscopy for myomectomy.<bold>Study Design: </bold>This is a prospective, non-randomized study, which compared and analyzed data from 41 patients who underwent RPRS myomectomy and 22 patients who underwent conventional 2 port laparoscopic myomectomy from April 2016 through July 2019. We compared the myoma enucleation time, suture time, myoma type, and the location of the largest myoma between the two groups.<bold>Results: </bold>The patients were not different between the two groups. The myoma enucleation time (26.7 ± 20.9 vs. 22.0 ± 13.7, p = 0.380), hemoglobin drop (2.38 ± 0.9 vs 2.1 ± 0.8, p = 0.280), weight of the myomas (205.3 ± 161.5 vs. 163.4 ± 89.1, p = 0.261), and estimated blood loss (181.1 ± 163.4 vs. 187.3 ± 77.5, p = 0.840) were not significantly different between the two groups. Notably, only the suture time (15.5 (10-21.5) vs. 20 (18-27), p = 0.005) was lesser in women who underwent RPRS myomectomy than in those who underwent conventional 2 port myomectomy.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Our data suggest that RPRS myomectomy is comparable to conventional 2 port laparoscopic myomectomy in terms of safety and feasibility and may be more advantageous for suturing after myoma enucleation.
