Robotic Surgery Advantages and Challenges

Abstract

The interest of using robotic surgery especially for gynecology, gastroenterology and urology is increasing everyday as this technology is expected to be the first line of surgery in many medical fields in the near future. This attentiveness is due to the unique features of this method and its advantages over the open surgery and laparoscopy technique. Knowing curiously about robotic surgery, its components, characteristics, advantages and challenges is crucial to be prepared for such huge evolution and to be engaged in advancement of this new technology.
