Abstract (Melissa Cutrer)

Robotic surgery is a new technology that is taking the surgical field by storm. The use of robots to aid surgeons in performing surgeries has changed the surgical field. Robotic systems entirely changed the traditional style of surgical operations. Robotic surgery is holding significant promise in the medical field because robotic surgery is a new revolution in surgery and is one of the most talked about subjects in surgery. The extent of robotic surgery is still evolving today. Reviews of articles and websites about robotic surgery were researched and have been described in our research paper. Throughout our research we learned that there are many advantages of using robots to assist in surgery. The history and development of surgical robots were identified as well as the political influences, economic issues, physiological issues, cultural considerations, and environmental effects.
