  • First Online:
Essentials of Robotic Surgery

Abstract

Since its introduction into clinical practice in 2000, robotic-assisted surgery has become rapidly adopted worldwide. The future of robotic surgery holds much promise for ongoing technological advancement. In particular, the robotic platform allows for development into other areas of the computer integrated surgery spectrum, from introducing imaging data into the operating room console to expanding surgical expertise outside the operating room to remote areas. This chapter will discuss the future of robotic surgery, focusing on the integration of advanced imaging systems, teleproctoring, and telesurgery.
