Robotic Surgery: At the Crossroads of a Data Explosion

CONCLUSION: Robotic surgery is in evolution to a larger conceptual field of computationally enhanced surgery (CES). Various terms have been used in the literature including computer-assisted surgery or digital Surgery [Ranev and Teixeira in Surg Clin North Am 100:209-218, 2020]. With the growth of technological changes inherent in CES, the ability to validate these improvements in outcomes will require new metrics and analytic tools. This learning feedback and metric analysis will generate the new opportunities in simulation, training and application [Julian and Smith in Int J Med Robot 15:e2037, 2019].PMID:34635951 | DOI:10.1007/s00268-021-06321-y
