Robotic Surgery: Considerations for the Future

摘要

Robotic surgery stands on the threshold of novel innovations and advances. This involves the development of newer robotic systems, novel robotic applications, and the incorporation of image-guidance and augmented reality navigation systems. Herein, we describe some examples of these ongoing advances in robotic surgery such as flexible ureterorenoscopy, robotic laser surgery, and robotic-assisted single-port surgery.
