ABSTRACT

Robot-assisted surgery is a technological breakthrough in the field of minimally invasive surgery. It promotes the use of minimally invasive technology in complex gynecological surgeries. It is currently mainly used in gynecological diseases for three common malignant tumors in gynecology (endometrial cancer, Cervical cancer, ovarian cancer) and some complex benign gynecological diseases. This article reviews the relevant literature on the application of robot-assisted surgery to gynecological diseases, analyzes the current clinical evidence of robot-assisted surgery applied to gynecological diseases, and provides a realistic and reliable basis for clinical selection of robot-assisted gynecological surgery.
