Abstract
Robotic-assisted surgery leverages the advantages of standard laparoscopy while restoring three-dimensional vision, ergonomic, intuitive controls, and wristed instruments that approximate the motion of the human hand. Robotic-assisted surgery has already shown feasibility and in many cases superiority to standard laparoscopy in urology and general and cardiothoracic surgery. The applications of robotic-assisted surgery are rapidly being incorporated into the field of gynecologic oncology.
