What is Robotic Radical Hysterectomy?

Robotic radical hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical method in gynecologic oncology that allows removal of the uterus and adjacent supporting tissues. The da Vinci system offers high-resolution 3D imaging, instrument degrees of freedom, and tremor filtration.

The LACC trial reported higher recurrence and worse survival outcomes with minimally invasive radical hysterectomy, making careful patient selection mandatory. Techniques that minimize tumor manipulation and recommendations for intracorporeal colpotomy are included in current protocols.

Preoperative evaluation includes MRI for local extent, PET-CT for distant metastasis screening, and gynecologic oncology and radiation oncology consultations. Pelvic lymph node dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy is part of the standard approach.
