Application of robots in general surgery

Background: Application of robotic surgery in the field general has been increasing. This paper is an overview current uses and future perspectives four major divisions—endocrine, upper gastrointestinal, hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP), colorectal surgery.Current Concepts: In endocrine surgery, cosmetic advantage highest priority when selecting a surgical approach for thyroidectomy. Currently, transaxillary route most common approach. The introduction single-port system could maximize advantages this technique. gastrointestinal use robots better retrieval lymph nodes, less bleeding, earlier discharge, complications than laparoscopic However, more prospective comparative trial required to confirm those findings. HBP field, indications have expanded, starting with cholecystectomy challenging procedures, such as donor hepatectomy pancreaticoduodenectomy. Meticulous dissection using provide benefits patients. excellent technical tool minimally invasive surgeries rectal cancers, especially male patients narrow, deep pelvises. further studies are impact on cancers.Discussion Conclusion: Robots used optimal outcomes. Investigating new technologies innovative procedures highly important surgeon era surgery.
