• Master Class in Gynecologic Surgery: The daVinci Single-Site Hysterectomy

  
  

   

  The Single-Site hysterectomy requires meticulous dissection, one side at a time, and selective coagulation/sealing of vessels with minimal bedside assistance. The pararectal space is well developed and the ureter dissected off the peritoneum before the round ligament is transected. All bleeding vessels are coagulated prior to colpotomy. Dissection is performed with the fenestrated bipolar grasper in arm 1 and the monopolar cautery hook in arm 2. For vaginal cuff closure, the fenestrated bipolar is kept in arm 1 and a needle holder is placed in arm 2. Use of a 2-0, barbed, 9-12″ absorbable suture on a 24mm-35mm reverse cutting needle is recommended.

• Master Class in Gynecologic Surgery: Advancements in Robotic Surgery (featuring Dr. Thomas Payne)

  
  

  Robotic-assisted surgery has been both celebrated as “revolutionary” and defamed as a “crutch.” No matter where your loyalties lie in this debate, what is not debatable is the dramatic increase in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) rates for hysterectomy since robotic-assisted surgery was approved for gynecology in 2005. Rates vary across samples and sources, but according to 2011 data from Solucient and 2010 data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, approximately 27% of hysterectomies are performed with the robot, 26% with standard laparoscopy, and 12% vaginally.
