The application of robotic surgery in gynecology in the age of artificial intelligence

Abstract

In the field of gynecology, the selection of surgical approach should be carefully considered based on individual patient characteristics. The development of minimally invasive surgery has greatly impacted gynecological surgeries, and the number of robotic surgeries has been increasing yearly. Robotic surgery offers many benefits. The use of robotic surgery techniques in the multidisciplinary teamwork (MDT) surgery can make surgical operations more convenient, and has resulted in many successful cases, such as in advanced ovarian cancer and deep infiltrating endometriosis surgeries. Single-port robotic surgery has its operational limitations but shows potential for development. The use of remote robotic surgery is being explored. The support of national policies in China has contributed to the development of domestically produced surgical robots. The future of surgical robots lies in technological advancements, market dominance, and the integration of intelligence and miniaturization. Our goal is to disseminate high-quality medical resources and provide services to a larger number of patients.
