Abstract
Background: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most revolutionary changes in modern history. The combination of AI and Robotic surgery can be used positively for better patient outcomes.
Methods and results: We aimed to conduct a review of AI and its role in robotic radical prostatectomy in modern day surgical practice. We conducted a literature review on this topic with specific discussion about whether the surgeon can be replaced by robots with AI capabilities based on latest studies available in the literature. We have presented a comprehensive overview of AI in robotic surgery.
Conclusion: We conclude that AI capabilities are to assist the surgeon and the team to improve patient outcomes. Robots cannot replace the surgeon in the near future. Robots with AI capabilities can be only used as an adjuvant to complement the surgical team and not replace them.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Robotic Surgery is to become the leading worldwide journal for publication of articles related to robotic surgery, encompassing surgical simulation and integrated imaging techniques. The journal provides a centralized, focused resource for physicians wishing to publish their experience or those wishing to avail themselves of the most up-to-date findings.The journal reports on advance in a wide range of surgical specialties including adult and pediatric urology, general surgery, cardiac surgery, gynecology, ENT, orthopedics and neurosurgery.The use of robotics in surgery is broad-based and will undoubtedly expand over the next decade as new technical innovations and techniques increase the applicability of its use. The journal intends to capture this trend as it develops.
