- Expansion to new procedures: As technology improved, robot-assisted surgery expanded to more complex procedures, such as:
- Cardiac surgery (e.g., coronary artery bypass grafting)
- Neurosurgery (e.g., brain tumor resections)
- Orthopedic surgery (e.g., joint replacements)
- Urology (e.g., kidney stone removal)
- Advances in robotic systems: Modern robotic systems have improved significantly, with features like:
- Higher-definition 3D visualization
- Increased precision and dexterity
- Improved ergonomics and surgeon comfort
- Enhanced safety features, such as tremor filtration and motion scaling
- Miniaturization and flexibility: Newer robotic systems, like the Medrobotics Flex Robotic System, are designed for more complex procedures and offer greater flexibility and miniaturization.
- Single-port surgery: Some robotic systems, like the da Vinci SP, enable single-port surgery, where only one small incision is made, reducing trauma and scarring.
