Topic Status Incomplete
Some non-cancerous gynaecological conditions, such as endometriosis, may require surgical treatment. Robot-assisted surgery may be used instead of conventional open or laparoscopic approaches. This involves by inserting a robotic surgical probe into a small laparoscopic or ‘keyhole’ incision, with the surgeon operating from a separate remote console.
