On-demand robotic surgery for hysterectomies: A combination of the best of robotic and laparoscopic approach
We present the first retrospective study reporting the feasibility of Dexter in robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomies. All surgeries were performed successfully without technical failure or device-related adverse events. In contrast to the other robotic systems, Dexter offers an on-demand platform, allowing the surgeon to switch between laparoscopic and robotic interfaces as required. Further research is needed to validate its potential advantages and broader applicability.
