Technology has changed almost all aspects of our life. Similarly, in the
medical field, the new technology is Robotic surgery. Robotic surgery involves
employing robots in the process of surgery. The employed robot, known generally as
the surgical robot, is self-regulating, partially or entirely computer-controlled, and can
be programmed as required for the surgery. As different surgical robots are employed
for different types of surgery, robotic surgery improves patient care and ensures better
treatment than regular surgery. The purpose of this article is to provide an outline of the
main ideas of robotic applications used in surgery. This article aims to provide an
overview of robotics's current and future applications in surgical operations and the
advantages and disadvantages of surgical robots.
Keywords: Surgical robots, Laparoscopy, Robotics, Surgery.
