Robotic surgery is increasingly published, but evidence needs improvement. Clear clinical uses in general surgery are still being determined, despite demonstrated safety.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Context:

  • Growing interest in robotic surgery across disciplines.
  • Established safety profile for robotic approaches, including complex procedures.
  • Need for improved evidence and defined clinical indications for robotic surgery.

Purpose:

  • To review the current literature on robotic general surgery.
  • To provide an overview of robotic surgery in general surgery as of 2013.
  • To highlight areas where objective advantages over laparoscopy are lacking.

Summary:

  • Robotic surgery publications are rising, yet the level of evidence requires enhancement.
  • While safety is proven, objective benefits compared to laparoscopy are not consistently demonstrated.
