The transformations of medical pattern bring the challenge for the minimally invasive surgical. With the innovation of the science and medical technology, minimally invasive technology developed quickly in recent 20 years. It has been applied to the management of gynecologic malignancies with promising result. Its advantage involving the relatively small incision, less intraoperative blood loss and operative complication, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and so on. Not only that, compared with traditional laparotomy, it has no obvious difference with regard to the number of dissected lymph nodes, overall and disease-free survival rates. So it is safety and feasibility to treat endometrial cancer. At present, minimally invasive operation technologies for endometrial cancer, including traditional laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic single-site surgery, robotic surgery and robot assisted laparoscopic single-site surgery. In this article the application of minimally invasive surgical in treating endometrial cancer is reviewed, involving the advantages, limitations and future direction of minimally invasive surgery. Hoping to provide some help for clinicians according to patients condition to choose operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Minimally invasive surgery has made rapid development in recent years and has become one of the most hot fields in procedural medicine. As science and medical technology have been improved, it has also made great progress in applications of gynecology. Although traditional open surgery is still has an important role in gynecology, minimally invasive surgery are attracting more and more attentions from researchers. As a representative of minimally invasive surgery, traditional laparoscopy has been a standard minimally invasive approach for gynecological diseases, which also can treat gynecological malignancies. Since traditional laparoscopy has been proven a mature technology, in this article, two evolving minimally invasive surgeries, endoscopic surgery through natural channels and robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery are respectively reviewed. We review the main advances of these minimally invasive surgeries and their recent applications in gynecological treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the advancement of science and technology, laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic and other minimally invasive surgery has become the preferred method of surgical treatment of cervical cancer. At present, surgical treatments of cervical cancer include radical hysterectomy, nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy, radical trachelectomy, and pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, even para-uterine tissue and pelvic organ excision performed with single port or multi port laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Its advantages include the expansion of the surgical field and visualization, to reduce the amount of bleeding and operative complication, reduce the need for analgesics, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and so on. Minimally invasive surgical treatment of cervical cancer represents the future direction of cancer treatment, randomized multi-center clinical studies through a large sample, obtained category one of evidence to provide the most effective and advanced surgical treatment for cervical cancer patients.
