ABSTRACT

Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has significantly evolved since its inception in the 1980s, incorporating advanced technologies and innovative methodologies to enhance surgical precision and reduce invasiveness. This paper explores the historical development, types, benefits, and challenges of RAS, along with recent innovations in surgical automation. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and imaging technologies has further propelled the capabilities of RAS, enabling more complex and precise procedures. Additionally, ethical and legal considerations are discussed to address the implications of increasing automation in surgery. Future directions indicate a promising trajectory for RAS, with potential breakthroughs in AI, virtual reality, and nanotechnologies that could revolutionize surgical practices.
