Abstract

Robot-assisted surgery is the next phase in the process of transhumanism. Presently, robotic surgery is used in various benign and malignant gynaecological procedures. Robot-assisted surgery is significantly superior to open surgeries in post-surgical hospital stays; however, the difference is less significant in the case of laparoscopic surgery. Estimated blood loss in robotic surgery may be less. Regarding postoperative time, the results have been inconsistent due to variations in surgeons' experience. The primary drawbacks of robotic systems are their high installation and maintenance costs and lack of tactile feedback. Though robotic surgery allows easy dissection and fine suturing and has a faster recovery rate, to decide whether it should become the mainstream of gynaecological procedures, more randomized controlled trials are needed.
