About

To compare robot assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery performed for bening gynecologic disorders regarding cosmesis, patient satisfaction and quality of life

Full description

30 patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic surgery for bening gynecologic disorders and 30 patients undergoing conventional laparoscopic surgery for bening gynecologic disorders will be included in the study. All surgeries will be performed in the same hospital by the same surgeon. 6 months after the surgery the patients will be called and will be informed about the trial. After confirming that the questionnaires can be sent to them by e-mail, 4 questionnaires will be sent to the patients via e-mail. To evaluate cosmesis, patient satisfaction and quality of life VAS (visual analogue scale), SF-12 (short form-12) health survey, BIQ (body image questionnaire) and POSAS (the patient and observer scar assessment scale) will be sent to the patients 6 months after the surgery. Patients who have not completed the questionnaires will be called for reminders after 1 week. Patients will be expected to complete the questionnaire completely and accurately.
