Robotic applications in abdominal surgery: their limitations and future developments

Abstract: Background In the past 20 years, the technical aspects of abdominal surgery have changed dramatically. Operations are now routinely performed by laparoscopic techniques utilizing small abdominal incisions, with less patient discomfort, earlier recovery, improved cosmesis, and in many cases reduced economic burden on the healthcare provider. These benefits have largely been seen in the application of laparoscopic techniques to relatively straightforward procedures. It is not clear whether the same benefits carr… Show more

“…The robotic system allows the surgeon to perform more sophisticated procedures, whereas classical gastrointestinal procedures can be performed safely. The development of mini robots and augmented reality techniques will boost robotic surgery in the future [9,16]. We have found that colon and rectum resections, anti-reXux surgery, and obesity surgery were safe and eYcacious for the patients.…”

“…Das stabile Kamerabild und die hohe Präzision in der Nachführung werden nicht nur mit den erwähnten hohen Investitionskosten bei den Geräten der ersten Generation, sondern auch mit einer deutlich verlängerten Operationszeit und aufwendigen Steuerungsmanövern erkauft [12,13]. Als weitere Aspekte, die gegen den Einsatz von Telemanipulatoren sprechen, werden der große Platzbedarf, die eingeschränkte Ausbildungsmöglich-keit des chirurgischen Nachwuchses und die mangelnde Flexibilität genannt [12,13,14,15].…”
