ABSTRACT

Robotic-assisted surgery has transformed modern surgical practice by offering new possibilities for precision and improved patient outcomes. This paper systematically reviews current evidence on the effectiveness, precision, and patient outcomes associated with robotic surgery, evaluating both its strengths and limitations. Although robotic systems are widely implemented across surgical disciplines, ranging from urology to gynecology, their benefits have been met with both praise and caution. This review examines areas where robotic surgery may outperform traditional approaches in minimizing blood loss, reducing recovery time, and enhancing surgical accuracy. Additionally, it discusses the economic and operational barriers to widespread adoption, such as the significant costs associated with equipment and training, as well as the variability in clinical outcomes reported in different studies. Despite these challenges, the application of robotic surgery in complex and minimally invasive procedures continues to grow, with data supporting improved patient experiences in specific cases. The conclusion emphasizes the need for further randomized clinical trials to definitively establish robotic surgery’s impact on patient outcomes and to guide optimal usage in various surgical contexts.
