Advanced robotic minimally invasive gynecology surgery is an alternative to traditional open surgery and has been important in gynecological surgery for both benign and cancerous conditions. Robotic surgery has become the preferred method for treating many women’s cancers. Through the use of the da Vinci surgical systems, doctors are able to complete complex surgeries in a minimally invasive and safe manner. Using the surgeon’s console, the surgeon’s movements are translated onto one of four arms and replicated by the robot through tiny incisions. This allows surgeons to make smaller incisions, decreasing her postoperative discomfort, and shortening the recovery period after surgery.
