Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery has changed the landscape of gynecologic disorders and treatment over the last 30 years, most substantially via robotic-assisted surgical platforms. The only currently available system is the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive Surgical Inc.; Sunnyvale, CA), providing the surgeon with an ergonomic three-dimensional platform with instrumentation that mimics the movements performed by the surgeon in an open procedure. The robotic system decreases incision burden, thereby lowering wound infection, improving cosmesis, and reducing postoperative pain. However, there is a learning curve associated with single-site surgery.
