AB  - Introduction Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer in Indian women (as per globocan 2018). For many years, radical hysterectomy is the treatment of choice for early stage cervical cancer. This procedure has been traditionally performed via laparotomy but with the introduction of robotic assisted radical hysterectomy, blood loss during procedure, hospital stay, post-operative complications is relatively reduced.Description The video illustrates a sequential narrative of operative steps of our robotic assisted radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissections in a 46-year-old female with squamous cell carcinoma of cervix. She presented with proliferative growth of 2x2 cm in the cervix, fornices free, bilateral parametrium and rectal mucosa free. The urinary bladder was dissected downward, the retroperitoneal space opened and visualized important structures like ureters and iliac vessels. Uterine arteries cauterized, clipped and cut at the level of its origin, ureters dissected from medial leaf of broad ligament peritoneum down to its entrance into the parametrium tunnel of Wertheim. Pararectal and paravesical space created. The infundibulopelvic ligament cauterized and cut laterally, pelvic wall peritoneum of broad ligament incised downward to base of uterosacral ligament, uterosacral ligament cauterized and cut closed to rectum. Colpotomy done specimen delivered vaginally without spillage. Bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection was done and specimen delivered vaginally. vault closure done with v- lock sutures.Conclusion Certain studies demonstrate the safety and feasibility of Robotic assisted radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer. It provides benefits such as less bleeding, reduced in hospital stay and decrease in post-operative complication
