Can we use robotic surgery for the treatment of pelvic recurrence and locally advanced tumors in gynecological surgery?
Over the past 20 years, feasibility of laparoscopic approaches has been validated in gynecologic surgery. This procedure has specific challenges due its longer learning curve and the limits imposed by the technique. For the surgical treatment of recurrent pelvic cancers or locally advanced tumors, open surgery remains the gold standard for most surgical teams. Robotic assistance could be an interesting alternative. The aim of this study is to present our department's robotic surgical procedures in this specific field and show its feasibility and reproducibility on several patients.
