Robot-assisted surgery in thoracic and visceral indications – Update 2023
Robotic-assisted surgery represents a technically advanced form of a minimally invasive procedure that claims to improve clinical outcomes as well as healthcare resource utilization. This report is an update of a systematic review from 2019, which examined the effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted surgery in thoracic and visceral indications, compared to open surgery and conventional laparoscopy. In total, 14 indications were investigated, with no evidence identified for five indications. Due to the heterogeneous results and lack of evidence for some study endpoints, a general statement on the effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted surgery is not possible.
