Robotic-assisted surgical endoscopy: a new era for endoluminal therapies

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Minimally invasive endoscopic procedures are associated with lower adverse events and shorter hospital stays compared with conventional open surgery.1,2 However, some advanced endoscopic procedures, including endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), and suturing, have typically required specialized training and a certain amount of experience to achieve competency. Therefore, these procedures are not widely performed in nonspecialized centers.
