The dexter robotic system in gynecological surgery: preliminary clinical data from routine use.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The Dexter robotic surgery system is a novel approach combining conventional laparoscopic and robotic surgery through an on-demand hybrid concept. Following its clinical approval in 2022, it has been used in a variety of surgical fields, but data on routine gynecological application remain limited. This study reports the first consecutive case series evaluating technical feasibility and early outcomes of the Dexter system in routine gynecological surgery. This retrospective consecutive case series included all gynecological procedures performed with the Dexter system at a single academic center between November 2022 and March 2024. Primary outcome was operative time (skin-to-skin). A total of 47 patients underwent nine different types of gynecological procedures. Benign hysterectomies were the most common (n = 28/47, 59.6%). Mean operative times varied between procedures, with the longest duration observed for hysterectomy combined with cervicosacropexy (161.0 min ± 26.0 min), followed by total hysterectomy (139.8 min ± 33.1 min) and myomectomy (131.0 ± 42.7 min). Blood loss was < 50 ml in all cases. No intraoperative complications were observed and no conversions to laparotomy or conventional laparoscopy occurred. This study demonstrates the technical feasibility of the Dexter robotic system for routine minimally invasive procedures in gynecological procedures. The on-demand hybrid concept was successfully integrated into clinical workflow. These findings provide foundational data for future comparative studies evaluating the Dexter system in gynecological surgery.
