Abstract
Modern medical technological signs of progress in surgical procedures have resulted in the improvement of a variety of innovative performances that have concentrated patient trauma, reduced hospitalization, and better diagnostic correctness and remedial result. In spite of the numerous esteemed reimbursement of MIS (minimally invasive surgery) evaluated to established procedures, there are still important disadvantages connected with usual MIS including poor instrument control and ergonomics caused by rigid instrumentation and its associated fulcrum effect. The use of robot assistance has helped to realize the full potential of invasive surgery with enhanced reliability, security, and precision. The increase of expressed accuracy tools to improve the surgeon's agility has developed similarly to progress in imaging and human-robot communication. In this chapter, medical requirements and technological disputes related to the surgical robot and connected technological advances and challenges associated with apparatus design are discussed.
