Conventional robots offer limited flexibility to the surgeon.

A comprehensive database containing coded demographic and clinical outcome data for these patients was analyzed for surgical data and intra- and postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We collected and evaluated data from 24 patients who underwent Dexter robot-assisted hysterectomies for indications like endometrial cancer, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. For all patients, a hysterectomy was accompanied by other procedures such as radical lymphadenectomy or deep infiltrating endometriosis surgery that was mostly performed by conventional laparoscopy. The mean operating time was 171.9\u2009min, with an average estimated blood loss of 130.8\u2009ml. The patients stayed at the hospital for an average of 4\u2009days. Clavien\u2013Dindo grade III postoperative complications were reported in four patients with three vaginal dome infections and one umbilical (camera arm) trocar hernia. Importantly, there were no intraoperative complications or conversion to laparotomy among the operated patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present the first retrospective study reporting the feasibility of Dexter in robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomies. All surgeries were performed successfully without technical failure or device-related adverse events. In contrast to the other robotic systems, Dexter offers an on-demand platform, allowing the surgeon to switch between laparoscopic and robotic interfaces as required. Further research is needed to validate its potential advantages and broader applicability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17455057251325029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,27]],"date-time":"2025-03-27T19:17:49Z","timestamp":1743103069000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["On-demand robotic surgery for hysterectomies: A combination of the best of robotic and laparoscopic approach"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Sara","family":"Imboden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inselspital, Bern University Women\u2019s Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0460-7180","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damaris","family":"Erhardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inselspital, Bern University Women\u2019s Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3415-9162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siegenthaler","family":"Franziska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inselspital, Bern University Women\u2019s Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mueller Michael","family":"David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inselspital, Bern University Women\u2019s Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2015.02.019"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"188","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygyno.2022.04.010","article-title":"Laparo-assisted vaginal radical hysterectomy as a safe option for minimal invasive surgery in early stage cervical cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"166","author":"Ronsini C","year":"2022","unstructured":"Ronsini C, K\u00f6hler C, De Franciscis P, et al.
