Article Abstract:

Innovation has led the surgical teams to use tools and techniques that are different from those used decades ago. The most visually dramatic change in the modern operating room is the arrival of remote computer-assisted telemanipulators, commonly referred to as 'robots'. The way in which the systems strength and limitations have directed an important development research regarding future systems and improvements to current systems is described.
