Current application status and innovative development of surgical robot

Each year, numerous patients worldwide require surgical interventions that could benefit from the precision and safety offered by surgical robots. The standard approach for complex surgeries often involves traditional open or laparoscopic techniques, which may result in significant patient trauma and longer recovery times. In a study published in the manuscript “Current Application Status and Innovative Development of Surgical Robot,” a team of researchers explores a new approach to enhance surgical outcomes through the use of surgical robots.

The review outlines the technological evolution of surgical robots and their current clinical applications, providing a comprehensive assessment of their advantages and challenges. It also discusses the technological improvement paths of surgical robots and predicts their future development directions, including intelligence, specialization, precision, minimally invasiveness, and the enhancement of tele-surgical capabilities. “Surgery has undergone a revolutionary development since the innovations in anesthesiology, aseptic techniques, and antibiotics. The use of modern techniques, especially minimally invasive techniques, has led to a new era of microsurgery and reduced patient trauma,” explains the study. However, the new technologies have also brought about a diversification of surgical equipment and complexity of operations, prolonging physician training cycles and increasing costs.

The emergence of surgical robots has addressed these challenges, particularly in operating within small anatomical spaces, and their technology continues to advance across various medical scenarios to improve medical efficiency.
