Robotic-assisted surgery, introduced less than 20 years ago, represents such a transformative concept that, as a result, it has become our vernacular as much as a tool in our operating rooms. The goal of this segment is to present a practical, yet evidence-based, overview of the role of robotic-assisted surgery in gynecology.\nAccess this chapter\nTax calculation will be finalised at checkout\nPurchases are for personal use only\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nRussell JB.
