Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad clinical study notes robotic myomectomy to safeguard fertility and reproductive choices. The study found that robotic-assisted gynaecological surgeries using the da Vinci system help preserve and protect healthy uterine tissue, and support future fertility
The study was led by Dr Rooma Sinha, Honorary Professor and Director of Robotic Surgery at Apollo Hospital, Hyderabad, conducted in collaboration with the Department of Pathology at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad.
A 10-year clinical study of 243 robotic-assisted myomectomy procedures, performed by Dr. Rooma Sinha, including 114 women seeking fertility enhancement, has demonstrated strong reproductive outcomes, with no major surgical complications or uterine rupture reported during subsequent pregnancies. The findings reflect a decade of surgical commitment focused on helping women manage complex gynaecological conditions while preserving their reproductive choices and long-term wellbeing.
Uterine fibroids are among the most common non-cancerous tumours affecting women, particularly during their reproductive years. In some cases, fibroids can distort the uterine cavity, interfere with embryo implantation, contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss, or cause heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. The study examined women who underwent robotic-assisted myomectomy using the da Vinci surgical system. This minimally invasive procedure removes uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus.
“For most women, recovery is not just physical but also emotional. Knowing that a surgery is designed to protect their future fertility offers them reassurance at a time when they are already coping with the stress of a diagnosis. The combination of less pain, minimal scarring, and faster return to daily activities can make a significant difference in how they move forward after treatment. This is especially pronounced in women who have to find a balance in managing work and family responsibilities,” Dr. Sinha added.
“Studies using the da Vinci surgical system have shown that enhanced 3D magnification and precision tools enable seamless dissection and suturing, which may help preserve ovarian reserve and uterine strength. This supports both overall gynaecological health and the possibility of conceiving in the future, giving women greater confidence in planning the next chapter of their lives,” said Dr. Sinha.
