Abstract
One of the current alternatives to open gynecological surgery and laparoscopy is Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (RALS), which is done utilizing Robotic Assisted Surgical Devices (RASD). These alternatives present another dimension to the cascade of decisions women make regarding surgery and recovery. Nurses are often called upon to help the women in the decision making process by providing education and current information. This requires requisite knowledge on the part of the nurses and collaboration with all members of the health care team. The purpose of this paper is to fully explain the trending new technology of robotic assisted gynecologic surgery, its advantages and disadvantages, and its implications for nursing through examining the available research and clinical literature on the topic.
