Authors' objectives:

Is robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery better than laparotomy, or laparoscopy, in women having myomectomy for uterus-preserving purpose, excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis or hysterectomy on benign indication, considering serious complications, hospital stay, operating time, bleeding, quality of life, conversion to laparotomy, and ergonomics. Specifically for myomectomy; live birth, pregnancy and uterine rupture during pregnancy are considered.

Authors' recommendations: There is low level of evidence for shortened hospital stay, reduced blood loss, and longer operating time, with robotic-assisted myomectomy, compared to open surgery. There is also low level of evidence for robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy resulting in shorter hospital stay, and in longer operating time, compared with laparascopic hysterectomy. For all other comparisons between the robotic-assisted, and open or laparoscopic surgery, the level of evidence is very low.
