Abstract
Inthe past two decades, mini-invasive surgery has become a promising procedure for treating gynecologic disorders. Many procedures are being attempted laparoscopiclly and/or robotically with the benefits of small incision, fast recovery, less pain and faster return to normal activities. The extirpation of cervical stumps is an important part in mini-invasive procedures. In this chapter, we described the detailed procedures of robotic extirpation of cervical stump in various gynecological procedures.
