Robotic surgery, as a type of minimally invasive surgery, is applied in the medical
care, and offers numerous benefits for patients. In this article, the development
and changes in robotics, and the aim of robot manufacturing will be reviewed. Furthermore,
by summarizing the history of the surgical field, we are going to describe the main
paradigm shifts, which show the human acceptance and usage of novel ideas in Europe
and in the USA. As a summary, the complex structure, place in surgery and the advantages
of the surgical robots and some state-of-the-art research projects will be described,
to let us forecast the surgical field of the future.
