Abstract

Background: Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) represents a significant advancement in surgical techniques, leveraging robotic systems to enhance precision, reduce invasiveness, and improve patient outcomes. The da Vinci surgical system has been a leading example, demonstrating the potential of robotic assistance in minimally invasive procedures. Aim: This paper explores the evolution of RAMIS, focusing on technological advancements, integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and future directions in surgical robotics. Methods: The study reviews the development and current state of RAMIS technologies, including the historical background, state-of-the-art systems, and emerging innovations. It analyzes data from a range of sources including literature reviews, market reports, and recent research developments. Results: RAMIS systems, particularly the da Vinci surgical system, have achieved widespread adoption due to their advanced features, such as enhanced vision, improved ergonomics, and training programs. Recent advancements include AI integration, new sensor technologies, and enhanced imaging modalities. Despite these improvements, challenges remain in achieving higher levels of autonomy and addressing cost and regulatory issues. Conclusion: RAMIS continues to evolve with significant advancements in AI, haptic feedback, and simulation technologies. Future developments are expected to further enhance surgical precision and outcomes.
