RESUMO
UNLABELLED: Some 15 years ago since the DaVinci system is launched in the market and since then has been gaining ground in the field of surgery. There have been published case series and large casuisticals comparing the benefits from robotic surgery versus laparoscopic. In 2005 the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approves its use for gynecological surgery. In Mexico, we have no experience in the use of this technology in this field of medicine. To describe the first laparoscopic hysterectomy case assisted with a robot (LHAR) intervened in Mexico, the results and review of the literature reported at the global level. CLINICAL CASE: this is a 47 year-old patient with clinical and ultrasonographic diagnosis of uterine fibroids of large items, who is scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy assisted with robot at Hospital Angeles del Pedregal in May of 2014. It examines the parameters of surgical time, transoperative bleeding, surgical complications, postoperative pain and hospital stay. It is also a review of the literature and compared the results obtained with what is reported in the literature world. The surgery had a duration of 2 hours 35 minutes. Blood loss was less than 50 mL. There were no complications and the patient had an EVA test of 2 at 24 hours after surgery. Hospital stay was 2 days. Laparoscopic hysterectomy assisted with a robot is a reliable procedure according to what is reported at the global level, offering benefits to both the surgeon and the patient.
