Detailed Description
This is a prospective, single-center, observational clinical trial at the Department of Women's Health of the University Hospital Tübingen.
100 patients affected by uterine diseases with indication for hysterectomy undergo treatment with robotically assisted laparoscopic procedures using the Senhance Surgical System (See Synopsis - Indication A) and are compared to a cohort of 200 patients treated with conventional laparoscopic surgery from a similar ongoing study (Ethics vote: 621 /2018BO1).
100 patients affected by other uterine conditions / adnexal conditions that require uterine/adnexal/tubal surgery (see Synopsis - Indication B) undergo treatment with robotically assisted laparoscopic procedures using the Senhance Surgical System and are compared to a cohort of 200 patients with indication for other uterine conditions / adnexal conditions that require uterine/adnexal/tubal surgery (see Synopsis - Indication B) who underwent conventional laparoscopic surgery at the Department of Women's Health in the past.
At the end of patient recruitment, surgical procedure times, estimated blood loss, intra- and post-operative complications and the percentage of conversions from the robotic assisted treatment/conventional laparoscopic surgery to multiple access and/or to a laparotomic (open) approach will be documented.
Patients will answer questionnaires (German version of the Short Form-36health survey questionnaire (Medical Outcomes Trust), German version of the female sexual function index (FSFI)) at baseline and at 3 and 6 months of follow-up. A questionnaire for patient satisfaction will be answered one day post procedural, at discharge and at 3 and 6 months follow-up.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- operating time [60 minutes]
time from first incision to skin closure
Secondary Outcome Measures
- time under narcosis [60 minutes]
- console time [60 minutes]
- estimated blood loss (milliliters) [60 minutes]
using the following formula: ((Hemoglobin concentration preoperative (g/l)) - (Hemoglobin 1st day postoperative (g/l)))/((Hemoglobin preoperative (g/l)) - (Hemoglobin 1st day postoperative (g/l)))/2) × 1000
- conversion to other surgical procedures (e. g. open) [60 minutes]
- time to discharge [60 minutes]
- intraoperative complications [60 minutes]
(occurring during the surgical procedure)
- perioperative complications [24 hours]
(occurring less than 24h after the surgical procedure)
- postoperative complications [6 months]
(occurring more than 24h after the surgical procedure up to 6 months after surgical procedure)
- German version of the Short Form-36health survey questionnaire (Medical Outcomes Trust) [at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months of follow-up]
Medical Outcomes Trust: SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting.
- German version of the female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire [at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months of follow-up]
female sexual function index: a multidimensional self-report instrument for the assessment of female sexual function
- Questionnaire for patient satisfaction [at one day post procedural, at discharge and at 3 and 6 months follow-up]
