This paper reviews literature on robotic surgery for benign gynecologic conditions, focusing on deeply infiltrating endometriosis, myomectomy, hysterectomy, and sacrocolpopexy/cervicopexy.

This paper/chapter reviews the role of robotic-assisted surgery in benign gynecology, focusing on robotic laparoscopy for surgical management of deeply infiltrating endometriosis, myomectomy, hysterectomy, and sacrocolpopexy/cervicopexy, and briefly describes a general setup for robotic procedures. It states that since FDA approval of the da Vinci Surgical System in 2005, robotic surgery has become widely used, but the available evidence for benign gynecologic indications is described as lacking in quality and often inconclusive. The authors’ key justification for robotic surgery emphasizes surgeon ergonomics versus conventional laparoscopy and potential reduced morbidity versus abdominal surgery, with a caveat that definitive conclusions are limited by the quality of existing studies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it explicitly reviews robotic laparoscopy for deeply infiltrating endometriosis as one of the chapter’s main procedure topics.
