The Role of Robotics in Ovarian Transposition

چکیده
CONFLICT OF INTEREST NONE DECLARED The preservation of ovarian function in young patients after radical hysterectomy has an important role at the post-oncologic management and preserves life quality. Ovarian transposition is a technique in order to avoid irreversible damage to the ovaries caused by irradiation. The principal surgical ways in the transposition of the ovaries is both through laparotomy and laparoscopy. Recently, the application of the robotic technology on this method seems to be promising. We performed a literature search with terms related to robotic surgery and ovarian transposition in Pubmed and Scopus. Two articles were identified dealing with this technique. Robotic assisted ovarian transposition is presented and the possible advantages and disadvantages of such a technique are discussed.

Cancer is not uncommon and no longer considered to be an incurable disorder. 10% of cancer cases occur under the age of 45. There is a remarkable improvement in treatment and survival rates. Today women have been delaying initiation of childbearing because the incidence of most cancers increases with age. Delayed childbearing results in more female cancer survivors. As a consequence there is an...

BACKGROUND Pelvic irradiation is essential for improving survival in women with pelvic malignancies despite inducing permanent ovarian damage. Ovarian transposition can be performed in premenopausal women in an attempt to preserve ovarian function. As uncertainty occurs over the proportion of women who are likely to benefit from the procedure, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis ...
متن کاملRobotically Assisted Endoscopic Ovarian Transposition
BACKGROUND Ovarian transposition is the anatomical relocation of the ovaries from the pelvis to the abdomen. Transposition is beneficial in women who are to undergo pelvic radiation, because it allows maintenance of ovarian function and preservation of assisted reproductive capacity. METHODS The da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Mountainview, CA, USA) was used to perform an endosc...
