The first generation of robotic technology appeared twenty years ago (10). The robot lets surgeons carry out keyhole surgery remotely, allowing them to control robot arms from a console that also provides a three-dimensional image of the proceedings. The idea to develop robotic surgery platforms evolved from the need to improve the precision of surgical techniques. There is no doubt that robotics will be always more precise than even the most skilled surgeon with the steadiest hand. This development is growing and probably will allow surgeons to perform extremely complex surgical procedures using a minimally invasive approach through a small single hole in a near future.
