The use of robotics in gynecology and reproductive medicine

Over the last several years, there has been a significant development in the utilization of robotics in gynecology and reproductive medicine. Robotic surgery offers several technical advantages over conventional laparoscopy, including stable and highly magnified 3D vision, enhanced hand-eye coordination, a surgeon-controlled field, optimized ergonomics, motion scaling, and physiological tremor filtering. Women's Health has solicited and published articles as part of a special collection aiming to focus on the current progress of robotics in gynecology and reproductive medicine. In this interesting and innovative issue, three articles were published: one editorial and two retrospective studies.
