Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Robotic systems provide a platform for surgeons to expand their capabilities, allowing them to perform complex procedures safely and efficiently. Within the field of benign gynecology, this has become an increasingly popular option since receiving Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2005. However, the appropriate indications for robotic versus laparoscopic surgery continue to be debated.
