Abstract

In this comprehensive review, the field of robotic surgery is discussed. The review focuses on robotic surgery, its applications within cardiac and gynecological sectors, its advantages and disadvantages, and its future outlooks. Robotic surgery has become an industry leading innovative technology offering better patient outcomes, reduced complications rates, reduced recovery periods, and improved control which allows for robotic surgery to be a viable option for expanding surgical capabilities on a global scale. Even though there are major economic challenges, the advantages which robotic surgery offer outweigh the disadvantages. As such, robotic surgery has the potential to become the most utilized medical technology in the world.
