The term Robotic Surgery can be misleading, as the majority of currently available systems still lack programmability or autonomy. At present, the term primarily pertains to remote systems utilized for soft-tissue surgery, enabling the remote execution of advanced endoscopic procedures. It is important to note that the surgeon remains the active participant in the surgical process, operating in a master-slave configuration interacting with the robotic device to carry out the procedure.

Numerous companies have devoted significant efforts over the years to develop diverse solutions in the field of robotic surgery, resulting in the introduction of numerous devices for clinical utilization. The details? See bellow.
