Robotic total hysterectomies have been considered contraindicated for patients with intra-abdominal adherences, but the evidence for this is not strong, and we hypothesized that the procedure can be of benefit even in these cases. In our research, we analyzed how the severity of pelvic adhesions affects robotic total hysterectomy, and by comparing different types of adhesions, we can further identify the outcomes differences in between, which may aid in future surgical decision making.
