Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is a new and rapidly developing technology of the last decade. The surgeon takes advantage of the 3D surgical field imaging and manipulation scope beyond the capability of the current laparoscopic instruments. An uncomplicated course of robotic surgery significantly shortens the length of hospital stay compared to standard open surgery. On the other hand a robotic surgical system carries high acquisition and operating costs.
It remains to be seen whether robot-assisted surgical procedures are safe and minimal-invasive even in patients with multiple comorbidities.
