Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
One hundred and fifty patients affected by adnexal and uterine diseases will be recruited to undergo treatment with robotic assisted laparoscopic procedures using the innovative TELELAP ALF-X Endoscopic Robotic Surgical System with the primary objective of assessing the feasibility, efficacy and safety of this approach.
Post-operative pain will be reported by the patients through a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). It will be assessed at 2, 4 and 12 and 24 hours after the procedure.
At the end of patient recruitment, surgical procedure times, the technical limits encountered, estimated blood loss, intra- and post-operative complications and the percentage of conversions from the standard laparoscopic approach to multiple access and/or to a laparotomic approach will be analyzed in order to arrive at the feasibility and efficacy of robotic assisted treatment.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
TELELAP ALF-X Robotic Surgical System
The patients will undergo surgical procedures using the innovative TELELAP ALF-X robotic system.
TELELAP ALF-X Robotic Surgical System
The surgical procedures will be performed using the innovative TELELAP ALF-X robotic system, equipped with multiple independent arms. Initial entry will be through a classic open in which the arm with the video camera will be inserted. The device has four independent arms (one for the video camera and three for surgical instruments). Patients will be in the lithotomy position, supported by Allen stirrups and under general anesthesia. The uterus will be manipulated with a multi-use uterine manipulator. After having induced a pneumoperitoneum, high-definition 3D-technology optics will be inserted. Three laparoscopic instruments will be used to complete the procedure. Standard techniques will be used.
