“…Furthermore, automated robotic surgery could integrate Big Data, 5G, and Cloud Computing in addition to AI to provide a more convenient and friendly experience for both surgeons and patients 30 . With the help of Big Data and 5G, patient data can be automatically analysed with their full clinical history in real‐time to facilitate decision making 31 . With the adoption of Cloud Computing and 5G, intensive machine learning tasks can be distributed to remote data centres instead of large computers integrated into the surgical system.…”

Background:From traditional open surgery to laparoscopic surgery and robotassisted surgery, advances in robotics, machine learning, and imaging are pushing the surgical approach to-wards better clinical outcomes. Pre-clinical and clinical evidence suggests that automation may standardise techniques, increase efficiency, and reduce clinical complications.Methods: A PRISMA-guided search was conducted across PubMed and OVID.Results: Of the 89 screened articles, 51 met the inclusion criteria, with 10 included in the final review. Automatic data segmentation, trajectory planning, intraoperative registration, trajectory drilling, and soft tissue robotic surgery were discussed. Conclusion:Although automated surgical systems remain conceptual, several research groups have developed supervised autonomous robotic surgical systems with increasing consideration for ethico-legal issues for automation. Automation paves the way for precision surgery and improved safety and opens new possibilities for deploying more robust artificial intelligence models, better imaging modalities and robotics to improve clinical outcomes.

“…44 Advanced vision systems are already available, but they continue to be improved with the aim of providing the surgeon with a clear view of the scenario to minimise the possibility of errors. 45 The new artificial vision systems offer not only a 3D clear vision but, through advanced methods extending spatio-temporal deep learning to 4D, provide the surgeon an in-depth analysis of multidimensional image representations of the intervention area, making the surgical operation more effective.…”

Purpose:The scope of the work is to present the state of the art of robotically assisted surgical systems and to give a general idea about how technology can help today and tomorrow robotic surgery. The road to innovation passes through research and on field trials; for this reason, not only commercial surgery robots, but also innovative prototype robots, proposed by the Academic world, are presented.Design/methodology/approach: Following a short introduction, robotically assisted surgery systems are introduced discussing their architectures and main peculiarities. A further section is dedicated to the key enabling technologies that will make possible to improve current systems and that will lead to a new generation of surgical robotic systems able to meet the patient's needs and facilitate the surgeon's task. Finally, brief concluding comments are given. Findings:The idea of using robots for surgery was born many years ago and in a short time a market demand was created. Today the market is very dynamic, and several new products are updated and created for the execution of both traditional and new procedures. The article provides a guide for the reader who has an interest in this area.Originality/value: This paper provides an insight into the commercial robotic surgical systems and a look on research prototypes from academic and industrial worlds.

“…The implementation of robotic radiosurgical systems into common clinical practice is indicative of a broader development in contemporary medicine where digital technologies promise to increase precision, patient-specificity, and efficiency of diagnostics and treatment (Friedrich and Diner, 2019). In surgery, for example, the rationale for improving health care revolves around minimizing invasiveness, which means that innovation is geared toward new technologies that transform surgical practice by enhancing surgeon perception and navigation, including automation and robotization (Fuerst et al, 2021). 3 The CyberKnife system exemplifies the kind of media-induced and sometimes remote entanglement of human bodies and non-human entities characteristic of the digital media applications that we aim to critically analyze.…”

Interventional digital media applications such as robotic surgery, remote-controlled vehicles or wearable tracking devices pose a challenge to media research methodologically as well as conceptually. How do we go about analyzing operational media, where human and non-human agencies intertwine in seemingly inscrutable ways? This article introduces the method of o perational analysis to systematically observe and critically analyze such situated, interventional and multilayered entanglements. Against the background of ongoing efforts to develop operational models for understanding digital media, the method of operational analysis conceptually ascribes to media technologies a real efficacy by approaching them as adaptive mediators. As an operational middle-range approach, it allows to integrate theoretical discussions with considerations of the situatedness, directedness, and task-orientation of operational media. The article presents an analytical toolbox for observing and analyzing digital media operations while simultaneously testing it on a particular application in robotic radiosurgery.
