Comparative Evaluation of Three Surgical Robotic Platforms for the Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Procedure: Post Market Clinical Follow Up Study

Detailed Summary

Hysterectomy is the most common procedure in gynaecology after a cesarean section. In recent years, the laparoscopic approach has become preferred given the different advantages over the traditional laparotomic approach, and both conventional laparoscopy and robotic-assisted laparoscopy have become the standard approach for hysterectomy. To date, robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy has been performed using one robotic platform and only recently, two new robotic platforms have been introduced in clinical practice. Although all three are registered for human use and available for clinical practice, there are currently not enough clinical experiences and data in the literature to evaluate the efficacy, safety and relationship between cost and efficacy of the new platforms available for the robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. For this reason, the investigators will conduct an exploratory clinical study on a Post Market Clinical Follow up (PMCF) medical device aimed at performing a preliminary assessment of the global performance of the ITL procedure implemented using the three robotic platforms currently available.
