Robotic surgery was introduced into Australia over a decade ago. The urologists adopted this new technology enthusiastically as the surgeons did 25 years ago with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Once again the gynaecologists were slow to adopt this technology with the exception of a few oncological pioneers. In Australia the uptake of the Robot for benign gynaecology has been even slower than expected. Using the database from Device technology, the distributor of the Da Vinci Robot, we have analysed the numbers of cases and the types of operations performed on a state by state basis since the Robot was introduced to try to look into some of the factors affecting current national trends. We have compared these results with European countries, the UK and the US. We discuss the various issues related to this poor uptake.
