Introduction and background: Robotic revolution in the surgical field is a milestone. It is important to have knowledge about the past in order to proceed towards the future for maximum utilization of the advantages of the surgical robot. The aim of the present review article is to explore the timeline of surgical robotics and future applications and changes in surgical robotics.
Methods: A review of the literature on robotics was undertaken using Google search. Various studies describing the history and development and the future of robotics in the field of surgery were included in the present study.
Results: This article gives an introduction to robotic technologies and their chronology in the health sector, studies the evolution of the surgical robot, and discusses future possibilities for renovation. Robotic surgery has no doubt provided some clear advantages but the associated cost and complexity of handling and learning curve cannot be ignored.
Conclusion: The future surgical robots should be aimed at creating a small-sized, cost-effective, feasible robot that integrates emerging technologies from various fields. Moreover, as novel systems come into the market, the curriculum should incorporate robotic training among residents via validated schemes. Evidence-based strategies must be implemented to ensure patient outcomes remain the primary focus.
