The introduction of da Vinci robotic surgery to the field of gynecologic surgery has made minimally invasive procedures a possibility for a growing number of patients for whom open surgery was once the only option. Indeed, conventional laparoscopy has been beneficial when compared to open surgery with advantages such as shorter hospitalization, faster recovery, less blood loss, better cosmesis and fewer complications. However, laparoscopy as well as surgical approaches via the vagina [ where the abdomen does not have to be cut open ] have limitations when there is complex surgery to be done. Both the vaginal approach for Gynecological surgeries as well as laparoscopy can also be challenging because of limited operative field visualization and the requirement for a skilled surgical assistant.
