[Robotic surgery in gynecologic cancer, especially in cervical cancer]

The development of robotic surgery is another step in the evolution of modern surgery. Robot-assisted minimally invasive procedures undoubtedly have many advantages compared to traditional laparotomy, which is why they have also been introduced in the treatment of gynecological cancers. Numerous studies have confirmed the advantages of robotic surgery in terms of quicker recovery, reduced blood loss, and shorter hospitalization. The technique provides a significant advantage in the minimally invasive treatment of overweight patients. However, in the treatment of cervical cancer, the use of minimally invasive procedures have declined in recent years due to worse oncological results. It is necessary to carry out further clinical trials in this indication using surgical solutions that prevent the spread of the tumor, in order to find out whether minimally invasive surgery regains its important role in the surgical treatment of early cervical cancer.
