Abstract
Gynaecologic robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) is adopted in all Danish regions. It is primarily used in gynaecologic oncology but is increasingly introduced in benign surgery as well. Today > 90% of Danish women with early-stage endometrial cancer undergo minimally invasive surgery, primarily RALS. There is evidence that RALS has a short learning curve and is feasible even in complex surgical cases with a very low risk of conversion to open surgery. This review concludes that the increasing use of RALS in gynaecology calls for early, systematic, and practical education and training in robotics for future gynaecological fellows.
