Robotic versus laparoscopic hysterectomy Comparison of perioperative outcomes in benign gynecological diseases

Hysterectomy is one of the commonest gynecological procedure done for benign conditions apart from malignant conditions. There is rising trend of minimally invasive surgeries worldwide. Robotic hysterectomy can be safely performed and has perioperative outcomes equivalent to Laparoscopic hysterectomy and superior to Total Abdominal hysterectomy.  Robotic hysterectomy is an alternative tool for minimally invasive hysterectomy. However there is a relative dearth of Indian literature with regard to this modality. More studies are required to assess patient safety and identify specific sub groups who would benefit from robotic approach.
