Summary:The robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgical approach has improved complex gynecologic surgeries. It has the advantages of excellent visualization through the high-resolution 3-dimensional view, a wrist-like motion of the robotic arms and improved ergonomics. Similar to conventional laparoscopic surgeries, it is associated with a decrease in long-term surgical morbidity, early recovery and return to work, and improved esthetics. We discuss preoperative planning, surgical techniques, and some of the latest clinical results of robotic-assisted laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
