title: Robotic surgery in gynecology.
abstract: Advantages of robotic surgery are the tridimensional and the non-restrictive flexibility because of the seven freedom degrees of the sophisticated instruments. These benefits are particularly present in case of complex oncologic surgeries like, for example, the nerve-sparing total mesometrial resection in cervical cancer and in early stage of endometrial cancer. Patients with extreme obesity and multi-morbid women can profit extremely from this innovative new technique.
