Abstract:
Advanced surgical procedures have traditionally been a domain of open surgery. However, minimally invasive approaches are evolving with the development of robotic technology which appears capable to overcome technical limitations of conventional laparoscopy. While traditionally perceived as impossible indications for minimally invasive surgery, reports on robotic organ transplantations have surfaced with promising results.
