title: Robotic nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this paper was to describe the robotic nerve-sparing technique and review the most recent data in the literature on this surgical approach.
  
  
  METHODS
  Presentation of anatomical aspects regarding the nerve-sparing technique, besides discussion of the surgical steps as performed in our institution.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Robotic-assisted nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy is a feasible approach for the treatment of cervical cancer patients, with remarkable advantages in terms of ergonomy, articulated movements and image magnification. All these features contribute for identification and preservation of the pelvic innervation, reducing the risk of surgical sequelae.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Robotic nerve-sparing technique can be incorporated as a standard care without compromising radicality.
