Background: Robotic-assisted surgery has attained widespread acceptance within clinical practice, emerging as the definitive standard for various medical indications. Within the realm of Gynae surgery, there has been a notable upsurge in the utilization of robotic and laparoscopic techniques. The Versius robotic system, developed by CMR Surgical, has demonstrated its efficacy on a global scale since its introduction in 2018, marking a significant stride in the landscape of robotic-assisted surgery. This review article was dedicated to providing an impartial assessment of robotic technology, elucidating our insights gleaned from 53 gynaecological surgeries conducted with the Versius robotic system.
Methods: A meticulous examination of 53 cases was undertaken, wherein average operative time, estimated blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, Intraoperative and postoperative complications, and conversion rates were subjected to retrospective scrutiny.
Results: The study conducted at a Tertiary care hospital involved the analysis of 53 gynecological cases using the Versius system. Results indicate the feasibility, efficiency, and patient-friendly nature of the Versius system, with notable advantages such as reduced hospital stay and smoother manipulation of tissues.
Conclusions: We acknowledge the ongoing evolutionary trajectory of robotic surgery and it is evident that its merit has already been substantiated by the endorsement of numerous medical practitioners and patients worldwide. The Versius robotic system stands as a revolutionary force within the healthcare paradigm, distinguished not only by its favorability among medical professionals but also by its patient-friendly attributes. In the realm of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, robot-assisted surgery emerges as a compelling alternative.
