Abstract: In recent years, the emergence of robotic laparoscopic techniques has promoted the minimally invasive technology entering a new stage. Robotic techniques are gradually being used to perform gynecologic malignancy surgical treatment procedures, mainly for radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with cervical cancer but also for radical trachelectomy, pelvic and paraaotic lymph node staging for advanced cervical cancer, pelvic exenteration for recurrent cervical cancer. The reports of robot endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer staging surgery cases are also increasing gradually. Now reports of robotic surgery are mostly retrospective studies, lack of randomized large samples of comparative studies. The technology is in its infancy. In order to make comprehensive evaluation, its indications and results of operations require substantial clinical explorations.
