Robot-assisted laparoscopy in Gyn Oncologic Surgery: Review

The laparoscopic approach, over the past 20 years, has become, in Gyn Oncologic Surgery, a gold standard for several teams. Introduced 10 years ago, robot-assisted laparoscopy is increasingly used in the gynecologic surgical field. For the surgeon, the advantages of this intuitive robotic surgery are the three-dimensional approach, the precision of the dissection with robotic instrument articulation, and a shorter learning curve compared to conventional laparoscopy. For the patients, a quicker postoperative recovery, less postoperative pain, and lower blood loss compared to laparoscopy seems to emerge. This review summarizes all the published results of robotic assistance applied to cervical and endometrial cancer surgical management.
