Abstract: Traditional craniomaxillofacial surgery significantly affects aesthetic appreciation. In contrast to traditional methods, robot-assisted surgery has been extensively investigated because it is microinvasive, precise, and safe. With robot-assisted surgery, operational vision and manipulation space become extended. As a result, operational quality and patient's postoperative life are improved. This article reviewed the development of surgical robot systems and their applications in craniomaxillofacial surgery.
