Purpose Of Review:
The da Vinci robot has proved to be the most advanced surgical system in gynecology. In this review we evaluated the possibilities of applying robotic assistance to improve gynecological endoscopic oncological surgery.
Recent Findings:
A literature survey on robotic-assisted gynecological oncology clearly supports the use of the da Vinci surgical system in laparoscopic oncological surgery. Robotic precision in tumor excision, easier intracorporal suturing and favorable ergonomics for the surgeon make the da Vinci robot particularly suitable for performing complex laparoscopic microinvasive surgical operations in gynecological oncology.
Summary:
Robotic surgery combines the advantages of open surgery and endoscopic surgery. In our opinion, robotic surgery may lead to better results than conventional laparoscopic surgery, particularly in the field of gynecological oncology. However, this opinion has yet to be confirmed by randomized studies.
