在最初引入的短短几十年内，手术机器人领域已经发展成为一个充满活力和快速增长的研究领域，全球范围内的临床应用越来越多。手术机器人最初用于立体定位神经外科手术，现在参与了越来越多的手术，展示了其实际的临床潜力，同时推动了手术创新的进一步发展。新兴平台还能够仅通过单入口切口进行复杂的干预，并以系绳或无线方式导航通过自然解剖路径。新的设备促进了超人的灵巧性，并使手术步骤的性能，否则是不可能的。它们还允许在细胞水平上无缝集成显微成像技术，显著扩展了外科医生的能力。本文概述了手术机器人的重大成就，并确定了该领域的当前趋势和未来的研究方向，使手术机器人更安全，更小，更智能。
Within only a few decades from its initial introduction, the field of surgical robotics has evolved into a dynamic and rapidly growing research area with increasing clinical uptake worldwide. Initially introduced for stereotaxic neurosurgery, surgical robots are now involved in an increasing number of procedures, demonstrating their practical clinical potential while propelling further advances in surgical innovations. Emerging platforms are also able to perform complex interventions through only a single-entry incision, and navigate through natural anatomical pathways in a tethered or wireless fashion. New devices facilitate superhuman dexterity and enable the performance of surgical steps that are otherwise impossible. They also allow seamless integration of microimaging techniques at the cellular level, significantly expanding the capabilities of surgeons. This paper provides an overview of the significant achievements in surgical robotics and identifies the current trends and future research directions of the field in making surgical robots safer, smaller, and smarter.
