Robotic assistance in laparoscopy has increasingly been adopted for many surgical procedures; and as a result, in recent years, robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy has seen more acceptance for both benign and malignant gynecologic diseases. The approach is safe and feasible and has been facilitated by advances in both operative and equipment techniques. For women with endometrial cancer, robotic approaches facilitate the completion of minimally invasive hysterectomy and have been associated with improved outcomes compared to open surgery. In comparison with vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy, some of the advantages of minimally invasive surgical techniques include less pain, a shorter hospital stay, a lower risk of infection, less blood loss, and superior cosmetic results. However, the use of robotic devices is associated with significant increases in costs and investment in educational resources. |
