Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a retrospective, case-control study of 75 patients having undergone a robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy were compared to patients having undergone myomectomy via laparotomy. Both groups had 3 or fewer fibroids confirmed by pre-operative MRI or on final pathology report. Charts were reviewed for surgical and post-operative variables
