Application of robotic-assisted laparoendoscopic single site technique in gynecology

Abstract:

In the development of surgery，gynecology is one of the earliest disciplines adopting endoscopic technology. From the con－ventional multi-site laparoscopy to the single site，then to the scarless transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery （vNOTES） and from 2D and 3D laparoscopy to robotic surgical system，laparoscopic technology has developed rapidly in gynecology. The robotic-assisted laparoendoscopic single site surgery（R-LESS），combining laparoendoscopic single site surgery（LESS） and Da Vinci robotic surgical system，is able to complete a variety of benign and malignant tumors，which is safe and feasible，and is also a major breakthrough in the field of minimally invasive surgery.
