Additional Gynecologic Indications for Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Over the last several decades, gynecologists have pursued alternatives to traditional surgical techniques in an effort to reduce perioperative morbidity without sacrificing therapeutic efficacy. Robotic-assisted surgery, introduced less than 20 years ago, represents such a transformative concept that, as a result, it has become our vernacular as much as a tool in our operating rooms. The goal of this segment is to present a practical, yet evidence-based, overview of the role of robotic-assisted surgery in gynecology.
