- Abstract
Robots are increasingly being used in healthcare to improve patient care, with advancements allowing them to perform a variety of tasks. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the adoption of novel technologies in healthcare, including robotic systems for virtual consultations and automated delivery of equipment. These systems can support hospitals and clinical practice in various specialties. A review of 1123 publications found that surgical robots are commonly used in procedures such as cholecystectomy and prostatectomy, with the da Vinci Surgical System being the most studied. Factors influencing hospitals' decisions to purchase robotic surgical systems include high surgical procedure volume and available resources. Regional hospital competition has also been found to increase the use of robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic surgery offers benefits such as shorter hospitalization, reduced pain, and faster recovery. While some cases may not be cost-effective, overall, robotic surgery is worth implementing in hospitals.
