Robotic advancements enhance minimally invasive surgery, improving visualization and dexterity for procedures like natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). This technology shows promise in reducing patient invasiveness, pain, and scarring, with demonstrated safety in animal models.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Robotics
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Open surgeries pose greater invasiveness, pain, and scarring compared to minimally invasive approaches.
  • Flexible endoscopy and laparoscopy face limitations in visual feedback and dexterity.
  • Robotic technologies are being developed to overcome these limitations in endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of robotic technologies in flexible endoscopy and laparoscopy for natural orifice surgery.
  • To highlight the potential benefits of robotic assistance in reducing invasiveness and improving patient outcomes.
  • To present evidence of the safety and feasibility of robotic natural orifice surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current robotic technologies in flexible endoscopy and laparoscopy.
