Abstract:
The clinical application of robotic gastrointestinal surgery has made significant progress during the past 20 years. Increasing research have demonstrated that the robotic gastrointestinal surgery is safe and feasible, with the advantages in lymph node dissection, precise manipulation in narrow space, intraoperative suturing, and achieves satisfactory clinical outcomes. However, it also face challenges such as high costs, lack of high quality studies, and limited intelligent level. With the advancement of more high-quality evidence-based medical research and the development of new intelligent surgical robots, the robotic gastrointestinal surgery will be further standardized. We believe that the robotic surgery will become the mainstream of surgical treatment for gastrointestinal surgery.
