Robotic surgery in gastrointestinal procedures shows promise for improved dexterity and precision. However, high costs and lack of superiority over laparoscopy require further research.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Computer-aided surgery
  • Robotic surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive techniques have transformed surgery.
  • Robotic surgical systems aim to enhance current minimally invasive approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state and applications of robotic surgery in gastrointestinal procedures.
  • To compare robotic surgery with conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on robotic gastrointestinal surgery.
  • Analysis of data from centers utilizing surgical robots.

Main Results:

  • Robotic gastrointestinal surgery is feasible and safe, offering enhanced dexterity, visualization, and precision.

  • Common procedures include cholecystectomy, Nissen fundoplication, and Heller myotomy.
  • Drawbacks include lack of force feedback and high costs.

    • Conclusions:

    • Robotic surgery is still in its early stages in gastrointestinal procedures.
    • No definitive superiority over conventional laparoscopy has been proven.
    • Further prospective randomized trials are necessary to establish optimal applications.
