    <abstract locale="en_US">Robotic surgery has transitioned from phenomenon to norm in the medical field, particularly in minimally invasive surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery offers greater precision, quicker recovery, and better patient outcomes, but issues like astronomical costs, technical issues, and ethical issues prevent its adoption. Robotic surgery's advantages&#x2014;greater precision, less invasive procedures, and better clinical outcomes&#x2014;are outlined here while addressing issues to its adoption. New technologies like AI integration, autonomous technology, and tele-surgery are revolutionary but will have to be accompanied by strong regulatory frameworks. Technologists', clinicians', and policy makers' collaboration is important to patient safety and equitable access as robot surgery advances.</abstract>
