Donor hysterectomy for live donor uterus transplantation was from the start performed by laparotomy, but minimal invasive surgery has entered the scene. In particular robotic-assisted laparoscopy is used since robotics is advantageous in the complex donor hysterectomy surgery in narrow space. This review covers the development and benefits of robotics and the published robotic donor hysterectomy experiences.
