Abstract

Robotic surgery, utilizing computer-controlled robots, has transformed minimally invasive procedures. This review delves into its evolution, applications, and future impact on healthcare. The Da Vinci system is globally employed, providing surgeons’ precision and flexibility. Originating in the late 1980s, robotic surgery has expanded across clinical domains. Specialized training is essential for surgeons entering this field. Various types of robotic surgeries offer benefits such as smaller incisions, quicker recovery, and improved outcomes. Pre-operative planning, involving imaging studies, plays a crucial role. Advantages include increased accuracy, minimal invasiveness, and improved quality of life. Challenges include robotic malfunctions, limited availability, and financial constraints. Future advancements include miniaturization, single-port robotic surgery, AI integration, predictive analytics, telesurgery, nanorobots, haptic feedback, and regulatory considerations. Balancing technological progress with ethical standards is crucial for ensuring patient safety and accountability. In conclusion, robotic surgery presents significant benefits and challenges, with ongoing advancements and ethical considerations shaping its future impact on healthcare.
