“…Furthermore, overlaying preoperative imaging results and even live imaging data such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could potentially solve the navigation challenge for laparoscopic surgery. Pioneering systems have already been reported for both preoperative and intraoperative imaging augmentation [33,[35][36][37].…”

The chronicle of surgical robots is short but remarkable. Within 20 years since the regulatory approval of the irst surgical robot, more than 3,000 units were installed worldwide, and more than half a million robotic surgical procedures were carried out in the past year alone. The exceptionally high speeds of market penetration and expansion to new surgical areas had raised technical, clinical, and ethical concerns. However, from a technological perspective, surgical robots today are far from perfect, with a list of improvements expected for the next-generation systems. On the other hand, robotic technologies are lourishing at ever-faster paces. Without the inherent conservation and safety requirements in medicine, general robotic research could be substantially more agile and explorative. As a result, various technical innovations in robotics developed in recent years could potentially be grafted into surgical applications and ignite the next major advancement in robotic surgery. In this article, the current generation of surgical robots is reviewed from a technological point of view, including three of possibly the most debated technical topics in surgical robotics: vision, haptics, and accessibility. Further to that, several emerging robotic technologies are highlighted for their potential applications in next-generation robotic surgery.

“…In order to deal with these challenges of lateral skull base procedures, an autonomous imageguided surgical robot might be a solution. Currently, several autonomous surgical robots are being developed to perform bone drilling in the lateral skull base (6)(7)(8)(9). These robots can drill autonomously based on a pre-operatively defined surgical path using computed tomography scan (CT scan).…”

“…These robots can drill autonomously based on a pre-operatively defined surgical path using computed tomography scan (CT scan). By unburdening the surgeon during the drilling part of temporal bone procedures and by using CT scan for path planning, autonomous surgical robots are believed to add value to the conventional surgery in terms of reduced procedure time, increased procedure precision, reduced complication rates, the possibility to drill minimally invasively, and eventually improved cost-effectiveness (6)(7)(8)(9).…”

Objectives Lateral skull base procedures, such as translabyrinthine approach (TLA), are challenging. An autonomous surgical robot might be a solution to these challenges. Our aim is to explore in an early phase the economic consequences of an autonomous surgical robot compared with conventional TLA. Methods An early decision analytic model was constructed in order to perform a step-wise threshold analyses and a sensitivity analysis to analyze the impact of the several factors on the incremental costs. Results Using surgical robot results in incremental costs – EUR 5,562 per procedure – compared to conventional TLA. These costs are most reduced by higher number of procedures, followed by lower price of the robot, saved operation time, and reduced risk of complication, respectively. Conclusions The incremental costs of using an autonomous surgical robot can be decreased by choosing applications with a high turnover rate, a long operation time, and a high complication rate.
