Initially used for diagnostic, laparoscopy has become a method of treatment in the field of gynecological surgery, but also in many other fields. The results of laparoscopic surgery are now comparable with those obtained by laparotomy in benign and malignant pathologies. Laparoscopy provides improved results in the short term and at least equivalent results in terms of long-term recurrence when compared with open surgery. Robotic-assisted laparoscopy was performed to prevent the disadvantages of conventional laparoscopy. It emerged as a revolutionary technology and has spread in less than a decade in many surgical fields, including urology, cardiothoracic surgery, pediatric surgery and general surgery. Minimally invasive techniques provide a lower rate of complications during surgery as compared to open surgery, which is appropriate tissue due to handling and better anatomical views. Laparoscopic treatment of cervical cancer provides benefits on increasing comfort with decreased convalescence time, but these cases should be reserved for surgeons with extensive experience in laparoscopic procedures. One of the most important advantages of minimally invasive surgical techniques is the short duration of hospitalization.
