Laparoscopic surgery for gynecological oncology is an important progress in the combination of scientific, technological and surgical techniques, which not only enhanced the efficacy of surgical treatment of gynecological oncology, but also is superior to conventional open surgery with regard to postoperative mental rehabilitation in gynecological oncology patients. But it is not without its risks and complications. There are still several new challenges on both theory and surgical skill improvement to be overcome. Firstly, to form a laparoscopic surgical team, there are a lot of special requirements of both the team members and the equipment which restrict the popularization of the laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. Secondly, every detail should be taken into careful consideration and the risks should be balanced and benefits ascertained before performing the laparoscopic procedures. So, for the development of minimally invasive surgery, we should be accumulating the clinical experiences, improving the laparoscopic skills and normalizing and certifying training centers, and verifying the long-term surgical effects by evidence-based medicine.
