“…Robotic surgery shows several advantages over conventional laparoscopy; these include a shorter learning curve and that experience in laparoscopy may be not prerequisite (Yim and Kim, 2012). However, major drawbacks are lack of tactile sensation, less cosmetically appealing due to more and larger incisions, a need for special training, and higher cost (Mohammadzadeh and Safdari, 2014). Recently, it was reported to have limited benefit to patients with benign gynecologic diseases in terms of effectiveness and safety (Liu et al, 2012).…”

“…Because of these reasons, the patient will have better post-op recovery, improved functional outcomes without compromising the oncological principles. However, there are some disadvantages in robotic surgery, such as anesthetic challenges because of the extreme positions, lack of haptic feedback which may result in cutting through the tumor, increased duration of the surgery, and the increased cost incurred [3].…”

“…Nevertheless, many challenges persist, such as the absence of surgical community support, high costs, availability of different sizes, and lack of tactile/haptic feedback. Surgeons also need more evidence and proper support from physicians [57,60,62,63]. Microbeads, microgels, and other nanodevices can be assembled within magnetic fields [53][54][55][56] to provide a cost-effective theragnostic without potentially toxic interactions.…”
