Robotic-assisted surgery has evolved in last 2 decades and still improving with the help of advanced medical technology. This article discusses the factors an anesthesiologist need to consider while performing a robot-assisted gynecologic surgery to improve patient outcomes along with better efficiency with minimal complications. Robotic-assisted surgeries have gained attention in gynecologic surgery because the robot can be manipulated through natural orifices.
The robotic technique is most suitable for operations in a closed and confined space such as the pelvis. Robotic-assisted surgery is beneficial in securing uterine vessels and cardinal ligaments, performing an accurate colpotomy, oversewing vaginal cuff, and endometriosis surgery in the gynecologic settings. Some recent studies highlight the safety and the utility of robotic surgeries in complicated gynecologic disease compared…
