Robotic surgery in gynaecology: Outcomes and challenges

Abstract

Robotic surgery has emerged as a transformative approach in gynaecologic practice, offering minimally invasive solutions for complex procedures such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, endometriosis management, and oncologic surgeries. Evidence suggests that robotic-assisted surgery improves surgical precision, reduces blood loss, shortens hospital stays, and enhances patient satisfaction compared to traditional open surgery. However, challenges remain in terms of cost, training, accessibility, and long-term outcomes. Nursing professionals play a pivotal role in perioperative care, patient education, and postoperative recovery. This review underscores the need for integrating robotic surgery into gynaecology with a balanced focus on patient safety, cost-effectiveness, and workforce training.
