Abstract

Robotic?enabled surgical systems have transformed modern healthcare by enhancing precision, reducing surgical trauma, and improving patient outcomes. Over the past decade, significant advancements in robotic platforms have enabled surgeons to perform complex procedures with improved dexterity, three-dimensional visualization, and enhanced ergonomics. This review systematically examines the evolution of robotics-assisted surgery, key technological innovations, and their clinical implications across specialties such as general surgery, urology, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedics. The study highlights major robotic systems, including the da Vinci Surgical System, ROSA, MAKO, and Versius, while evaluating their contributions to minimizing operative time, reducing complications, lowering blood loss, and shortening recovery periods. Furthermore, the article presents a comparative discussion between robotic and conventional minimally invasive approaches and analyzes challenges such as high implementation costs, lengthy training requirements, and limited accessibility in low-resource settings. The review concludes by identifying current research gaps and outlining future opportunities, including AI-driven surgical automation, haptic feedback integration, and tele-robotic surgery. Overall, robotics-enabled surgical procedures continue to reshape the surgical ecosystem, driving the transition toward more precise, patient-centered, and minimally invasive healthcare.

Keywords
