[Uterine cancer].

It is thought that robotic surgery is highly useful for uterine malignant tumor such as endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. It is nothing but that robotic surgery enables us the correct and delicate movement of forceps, which is necessary for operative procedures at the deep and narrow space in the pelvic cavity and the perivascular lymphadenectomy. By our experience, significant reduction of blood loss and shortening of the hospital stay were accepted in the cases of endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. At present the robotic surgery in uterine cancer in Japan lags far behind the USA In order not to miss the trend in the world, it is required for the robotic surgery of uterine cancer to spread widely in Japan from now on. For this purpose, it is necessary to accumulate cases on the assumption that advanced medical care and also insurance adaptation.
