Although medical therapy represents the first-line treatment for endometriosis, it does not always manage to control symptoms. Laparoscopy represents the standard surgical treatment in endometriosis. Robotic-assisted laparoscopy is an innovative mini-invasive surgical technique. Its application in gynecological surgery and in endometriosis has increased in the last decade. Our purpose is to offer an overview of the role of robotic-assisted laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of endometriosis. Methods: We evaluated studies dealing with the new technique in surgery for endometriosis with a focus on robotic surgery. We performed a compressive literature research on PubMed and the Cochrane Library in December 2022. Expert opinion: Robotic-assisted surgery is a feasible and safe approach to endometriosis surgery and is superimposable to laparoscopy in terms of complication rate, blood loss, hospitalization, and long-term improvement of symptoms. The effect of robotic-assisted surgery on operative time is still contradictory and needs to be further investigated. Robotic-assisted laparo
