Background And Aims:
Over the past two decades, robotic-assisted abdominal surgery has revolutionized the field of abdominal surgery. This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive and current analysis of the latest robotic surgery systems employed in abdominal procedures, emphasizing their design, capabilities, and unique features.
Methods:
We conducted a systematic search using PubMed, Google, and manufacturer websites, utilizing keywords such as robotic surgery, robotic-assisted surgery, and specific robotic systems including da Vinci, Hugo, Versius, Flex, Senhance, Revo-I, MicroHand S, Hinotori, Avatera, Bitrack, ENOS (SPORT), MIRA, Mantra, Medrobotics Flex, Dexter, Saroa, Toumai, SHURUI, and Sina flex .
Results:
Our review identified and analyzed 19 robotic systems from various countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Iran, and China. This review not only highlights the features of these emerging robotic surgery systems but also delves into less-studied systems, such as the Saroa and Sina flex robotic surgery systems, thereby addressing a gap in the current literature.
Conclusion:
Robotic-assisted abdominal surgery continues to advance, offering greater precision and reduced invasiveness. Although high costs remain a challenge, ongoing technological progress and the introduction of new systems are improving both accessibility and performance. With the growing integration of artificial intelligence, robotic surgery is expected to become even more efficient, ultimately supporting surgeons and enhancing patient outcomes.
