Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing Robotic Surgery - A Review

The review highlights the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on robotic surgery, emphasizing its potential to enhance precision, efficiency, and accessibility across various surgical specialties. AI applications improve tasks like suturing and tissue dissection, leading to advancements in autonomous surgical systems such as the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), which can match or surpass human surgeons in specific tasks. AI-driven systems show promising outcomes, including reduced operative times and improved precision. Despite challenges like high costs and ethical concerns, AI's integration in robotic surgery suggests a promising future with more sophisticated and independent systems, improved surgical training, and better patient outcomes, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
