Abstract:
Conventional abdominal radical hysterectomy (CRH) and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) have been widely used for cervical cancer in clinical practice. Since the operating time is shorter and intraoperative bleeding is less than CRH, LRH has gradually replaced CRH. However, plenty of difficulties in the popularization of LRH are still to be discussed and studied indepth. With the rapid development of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, robot-assisted cervical cancer radical surgery has revealed its advantages: wide and clear three-dimensional vision and multi-dimensional high-precision surgical operation help to solve the difficulties in CRH and LRH. At present, the robot assisted technology has been applied to a lot of cervical cancer surgeries, such as radical hysterectomy, nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy, radical trachelectomy, and extra peritoneal lymphadenectomy.It can not only simplify the surgical process, but also achieve equally short-term clinical efficacy compared to the laparoscopic surgery. However, due to short period of its application in surgery, long-term efficacy of the robot-assisted surgery still needs to be discovered, and its technological innovation also needs to be improved. In all, the robot-assisted technology has been well served and integrated in the cervical cancer surgery, which makes important significance in the management of cervical cancer.
