Abstract

The application of robotic technology for abdominal and pelvic surgery has had a strong impact in gynecologic oncological surgery. The most influential result is a decrease in the number of procedures performed by laparotomy. Many centers have evolved from a laparotomy to a robotic approach, and centers that were performing advanced laparoscopic procedures have discovered the advantages of robotic technology for gynecologic oncological operations. When analyzing perioperative outcomes for laparotomy, laparoscopy, and robotic surgery, three major benefits appear in almost all studies: reduced blood loss, shorter hospitalization, and shorter recovery to normal activities. Operating times are similar or longer, and postoperative complications are similar or reduced, for laparoscopy and robotic surgery patients.
