Summary
Robotic surgery has evolved rapidly over the last 15 years. An increasing number of successful procedures has led to the acceptance by the FDA of the DaVinci® system in 2005 for gynaecological operations. The growing popularity of this system in many centres has practically led to the replacement of classical laparoscopy and open surgery by robotic surgery in many gynaecological operations. Robotic surgery is used both in benign conditions, such as uterine myoma, endometriosis and prolapse as well as in oncological indications, such as endometrial, cervical and ovarian cancer. Here we describe the basic principles of robotic surgery, available systems and training needs, as well as use and common complications in gynaecological disorders.
