Objective To summarize the data of robotic hysterectomy in patients with large and super-large uterus in single center, and explore the relevant clinical experience and advantages of robotic surgery.Methods The medical records of the patients with large uterus caused by gynecological diseases who underwent robotic hysterectomy in the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients with uterine size from 12 to 16 weeks of gestation were divided into large uterus group and those with uterine volume larger than 16 weeks of gestation were divided into super large uterus group.Results A total of 62 patients were included, including 28 in the large uterus group with the average uterus size of (14.3±2.1) gestational weeks, and 34 in the super large uterus group with the average uterus size of (19.9±2.8) gestational weeks. There was no significant difference in mean age, body mass index, history of abdominal surgery or diagnostic composition between the two groups (P>0.05), except for the size of the uterus (t=8.772, P<0.001). The operation time in the large uterus group was less than that in the super-large uterus group [(75.4±22.6) vs. (91.7±27.8) min; t=2.495, P=0.015]. The incidence of complications after robotic hysterectomy was 14.5% (9/62) in the 62 patients, including 14.3% (4/28) in the large uterus group and 14.7% (5/34) in the super-large uterus group. There was no significant difference in the amount of bleeding, blood transfusion rate, ratio of conversion to open surgery, average hospitalization days or incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Robotic hysterectomy has the advantages of flexible manipulator, 3-D operative field of vision and stability of manipulation. In addition, increased uterine volume does not lead to increased surgical trauma, nor apparently affect the prognosis.
