Article Abstract
Purpose: Here, we compared the operative and perioperative outcomes between robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) and abdominal myomectomy (AM) in patients with large (>10 cm) or heavy myomas (>250 g).
Materials And Methods: We included 278 patients who underwent multi-port RALM (n=126) or AM (n=151) for large or heavy myomas in a tertiary care hospital between April 2019 and June 2020. The t-test, chi-square, Bonferroni's test, and multiple linear regression were used.
Results: No differences were observed in age, body mass index, parity, or history of pelvic surgery between the two groups. Myoma diameters were not different (10.8±2.52 cm vs. 11.2±3.0 cm, =0.233), but myomas were lighter in the RALM group than in the AM group (444.6±283.14 g vs. 604.68±368.35 g, respectively, =0.001). The RALM group had a higher proportion of subserosal myomas, fewer myomas, fewer large myomas over >3 cm, lighter myomas, and longer total operating time. However, the RALM group also had shorter hospital stay and fewer short-term complications. Estimated blood loss (EBL) was not different between the two groups. The number of removed myomas was the most significant factor (coefficient=10.89, <0.0001) affecting the EBL.
Conclusion: RALM is a feasible myomectomy technique even for large or heavy myomas. RALM patients tend to have shorter hospital stays and fewer postoperative fevers within 48 hours. However, RALM has longer total operating time.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the phytochemicals and biological activities of extracts from different parts of a plant, specifically flowers, leaves, and stems.
- Various methods were used to assess the presence of secondary metabolites, quantify phenolic and flavonoid contents, and evaluate antioxidant, anti-hemolytic, antibacterial, phytotoxic, and cytotoxic activities.
- Results highlighted that flower extracts had the highest phenolic content, while leaf extracts showed strong antibacterial properties, indicating potential pharmaceutical applications and the need for further research on isolating specific compounds.
A comparative retrospective analysis on robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery compared to conventional laparoscopy in case of myomectomy: experience in a third-level hospital of Southern Italy.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine myomas are a common issue for women of reproductive age, leading to the need for effective treatment options, including robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) and traditional laparoscopic myomectomy (LM).
- A study comparing 50 patients (25 RALM, 25 LM) found that RALM had significantly shorter operative times and reduced hospital stays, with an average of 1.2 days compared to 2.9 days for LM.
- However, there were no significant differences in blood loss or hemoglobin levels between the two methods, indicating that while RALM may offer efficiency, both methods are comparable in terms of safety outcomes.
Effect and Safety of Diluted Vasopressin Injection for Bleeding Control During Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Reproductive Women With Uterine Fibroids: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial (VALENTINE Trial).

Background/aim: Vasopressin injected during myomectomy is known to effectively reduce bleeding but is sometimes associated with intraoperative vasoconstriction and hypertension due to systemic absorption. Although there is a growing preference for the use of diluted vasopressin, evidence of its effect and safety is still lacking.
Patients And Methods: We performed a randomized controlled pilot trial to evaluate the effect and safety of vasopressin diluted in a constant volume during robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM), where a total of 39 women with uterine fibroids were randomly assigned into the following three groups (group 1, 0.
Efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy versus laparoscopic myomectomy: a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis.

Objective: Systematic evaluation of the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) versus laparoscopic myomectomy (LM).
Methods: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science database were searched by computer to seek relevant literature in order to compare the efficacy and safety of RALM with that of LM from the establishment of the databases to January 2023, and Review Manager 5.4 software was utilized to perform a meta-analysis on the literature.

Data regarding rotational atherectomy percutaneous coronary intervention (RA PCI) angioplasty in the left main (LM) coronary artery are scarce, and mostly outdated. We aimed to describe clinical outcomes of RA PCI in LM. Patients requiring RA in 8 European countries and 19 centers were prospectively and consecutively included in the European registry of Cardiac Care of Calcified and Complex patients registry.
