Robotic multidisciplinary endometriosis surgery with multi-visceral resection: evaluation of short-term feasibility and safety outcomes.
Article in ANZ journal of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite growing interest in robot-assisted surgery, the literature remains limited on the application of robotic surgery for complex endometriosis surgery requiring multidisciplinary input for multi-visceral resection. The aim of the study was to report the short-term feasibility and safety outcomes of this technique from a high-volume robotic surgery facility.
methodsThis was a single centre, retrospective study evaluating prospectively collected data. All women underwent planned multidisciplinary robotic surgery using the da Vinci Xi system between January 2018 and July 2024. Fifty-eight patients were included in the analysis of demographic, operative and 30-day postoperative data.
resultsThe median age was 40.5 (range 21-55), with 94.82% of women having ASRM grade 3-4 endometriosis. Almost half of the patients had total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. Concurrent colorectal resections included appendicectomy/stapled caecectomy (41.38%), rectal shaving (36.21%), rectal wedge resection (39.66%), endo-anal discoid resection (1.72%) and rectal segmental resection (15.52%). Partial bladder excision and extensive ureterolysis for ureteral stenosis occurred in 5.17% and 11.54%, respectively. The median console time was 148 min (range 49-480 min), 0% conversions and a median 100mls estimated blood loss. Median length of stay was 3 days (range 1-7). Clavien-Dindo complications ≥2 occurred 5.17% of cases. There were no anastomotic leaks, other infectious complications, postoperative ileus, blood transfusion requirements or mortality within 30 days.
conclusionsThe robotic assisted approach is feasible and safe with overall short operative time, acceptable blood loss, no conversions, relatively short length of stay and minimal short term postoperative complications.
