Comparative StudyComparison of robotic assisted laparoscopic myomectomy with barbed sutures and traditional laparoscopic myomectomy with barbed sutures.
To elucidate whether robotic assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) with barbed sutures is superior to traditional laparoscopic myomectomy (TLM) with barbed sutures. ⋯ Despite longer surgical time of RALM, RALM with barbed sutures did not show a significant decrease in postoperative abdominal drainage, compared with TLM with barbed sutures; and this hints that the use of barbed suture in TLM might diminish the superiority of RALM about the decrease of postoperative blood loss. Thus, TLM with barbed sutures remains a good alternative for laparoscopic myomectomy in the era of robot.
