Abstract
The surgical approach and choice of drainage veins for uterus
transplantation living-donor
surgery have been investigated to reduce invasiveness. Of the 51
operations within 26 articles reviewed, the mean operative time was
shortest in the laparoscopic approach, and longest in the robot-assisted
approach. The mean blood loss was less in the laparoscopic and
robot-assisted approaches than in the open approach. In cases where the
uterine veins were not preserved, the mean operative time was shortened
by each approach and the mean blood loss decreased with the laparoscopic
and robot-assisted approaches. These procedures may contribute to less
invasive living-donor surgery.
