The current role of robotic surgery in endometriosis management.

Robotic surgery for endometriosis has similar outcomes as conventional laparoscopy, with no evidence of increased complication rates. Despite the non-inferiority of the surgical route, the associated costs of robotic surgery limit its availability. Rapid development of robot-assisted surgery necessitates long-term prospective randomized controlled trials. However, the limitations of robotic surgery should not be overlooked. If robotic surgery can facilitate the spread of minimally invasive surgery, it will be necessary to evaluate the cost, availability, complexity of the lesions, and most importantly, the results of patient satisfaction and values of value-based medicine.
