| Abstract: | Robotic is an antique concep. The first robots used in surgery were precise path systems in the 80's. Stereotactic neurosurgery was the first field applying this devices. Based on these more complex devices were built: AESOP and Endoassist help the surgeon during the surgery. The surgical assistant will not fatigue and there will be no tremor of the camera. Finally the master-slave devices were developed. They are the most commenly used all around the world. They are involved many types surgery In. To evaluate the cost effectiviness of robotics in surgery is our responsability. Robotics provides many advantages but also has a few disadvantages including expense. |
