    Background: Port site recurrence a rare complication of laparoscopic or robotic surgery for gynaecological cancer. The exact mechanism it is not well understood and there are few cases detailing this phenomenon specifically after robotic assisted surgery for gynaecological cancer. Methods: The authors present a case of isolated port site metastasis in a 49 years-old woman with Stage 1B1 grade 2 endocervical adenocarcinoma following primary robotic radical hysterectomy with lymph node dissection. The recurrence was diagnosed 16 months post primary surgery in the anterior abdominal wall and the lung. Both were resected with clear margins and the patient continued follow up.
