The article “Comparison of operative and fertility outcomes of single-incision robotic myomectomy: a retrospective single-center analysis of 286 cases” by Kim et al. compares the effectiveness of robotic single-port myomectomy against the traditional multiport approach. The study finds similar operating outcomes, complication rates, and pregnancy rates in expert hands for both methods. Our systematic review supports these findings, revealing no significant differences in operative time, blood loss, or complication rates. Recent meta-analysis further emphasizes the benefits of the single-port approach in reducing morcellation time, overall operative duration, and blood loss. Our letter seeks insights on patient selection criteria to minimize conversion rates between surgical approaches and inquiries on learning curve differences. Additionally, we seek cost analysis details for both techniques. We appreciate the authors' valuable contributions to this field.
