We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 462 patients with symptomatic leiomyoma who underwent MPRM or SIRM between March 2019 and April 2021. Demographic characteristics and surgical outcomes, including the\u00a0total operative time (OT), estimated blood loss (EBL), and surgical complication rate, were compared between the two groups. Patients in the SIRM group had lower a body mass index and rate of previous pelvic surgery and were younger than those in the MPRM group. The myoma type was not different between groups; however, the MPRM group had larger, and more myomas than the SIRM group. After propensity score matching, these variables were not significantly different between the groups. The total OT, EBL, difference in hemoglobin levels, transfusion rate, and postoperative fever were not different between the groups. No postoperative complications occurred in the SIRM group. In the MPRM group, one patient needed conversion to laparotomy, and two patients had postoperative complications (umbilical incisional hernia and acute kidney injury). In conclusion, both MPRM and SIRM are feasible and effective surgical options for symptomatic myomas with cosmetic benefits and minimal risk of laparotomy conversion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10173957","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T21:59:45Z","timestamp":1630447185000},"page":"3957","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Single-Incision versus Multiport Robotic Myomectomy: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis of Surgical Outcomes and Surgical Tips"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7890-8348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sa-Ra","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5713-7743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ju-Hee","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young-Jae","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gangneung Asan Hospital, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 38, Bangdonggil, Sacheon-myeon, Gangneung-si 25440, Gangwon-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5088-1905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shin-Wha","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeong-Yeol","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dae-Shik","family":"Suh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dae-Yeon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sung-Hoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Man","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young-Tak","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1359","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2018.7076","article-title":"Burden, Prevalence, and Treatment of Uterine Fibroids: A Survey of U.S. Women","volume":"27","author":"Marsh","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
