Future of Robotics and Integration of Artificial Intelligence: Toward Computer-Assisted Surgery and the Real...

Minimally invasive surgery has evolved from a disruptive concept to a cornerstone of modern surgical oncology. The integration of imaging, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed surgical care into a highly data-driven, precise and standardized discipline. These advances are significant in oncologic surgery, where complex anatomy, biological variability and the need for radical resections demand unprecedented accuracy. This perspective review examines the current state and future direction of computer assisted surgery, exploring how the fusion of imaging, robotics and AI is reshaping clinical practice and promoting the democratization of surgery. The future of surgery will be built on a symbiotic relationship between human expertise and technological intelligence.
