Area of Science:

Surgical Technology
Anesthesiology
Medical Robotics

Background:

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is increasingly demanded due to technological advancements.
Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is emerging as a popular alternative to traditional laparoscopy, offering enhanced precision.
Current anesthetic practices face challenges with patient positioning and equipment bulk in RAS.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the evolution of surgical robots.
To identify and discuss the unique anesthetic considerations associated with RAS.
To emphasize the anesthesiologist's role in ensuring patient safety in the context of RAS.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of surgical robot development.
Analysis of anesthetic challenges specific to robot-assisted procedures.
Literature review on patient positioning and equipment-related anesthetic concerns.

Main Results:

Surgical robots have evolved significantly, improving surgical outcomes.
RAS introduces novel anesthetic challenges, including patient positioning and managing bulky equipment.
Anesthesiologists require specific knowledge to navigate these complexities.

Conclusions:

Anesthesiologists must adapt to the evolving landscape of robotic surgery.
Familiarity with RAS systems and their associated anesthetic risks is paramount.
Ensuring patient safety requires proactive management of unique anesthetic concerns in robotic surgery.
