Abstract

the article is dedicated to exploring contemporary trends and practical integration aspects regarding the application of robotics principles within both domestic and international surgical practices. The goal of the article is to provide a systematic review of professional works within the analysis of modern achievements and peculiarities regarding the integrative incorporation of robotics into surgical practice. To determine the current state of research on the integration of robotics into surgical practice, a systematic search of scientific publications was conducted across various databases. Subsequently, information from selected publications was systematized and integrated to identify the main trends of robotics integration into surgical practice, and a synthesis of results was carried out to determine innovative aspects and challenges. The paper analyzes the advantages and limitations of the integrative use of robotics in surgical practice. The authors conduct a review analysis of promising robotic surgical systems. Conclusions: The obtained results indicate significant success in the utilization of robotics in surgical practice. Through analysis, it was established that the implementation of modern robotic systems allows for a substantial increase in the precision of surgical interventions, leading to reduced patient trauma and shortened recovery periods after surgery. Additionally, a trend towards a reduction in postoperative complications incidents was identified, achieved through the application of various integration algorithms within the practical application of robotics in surgical practice, which is a key indicator of the improvement in the quality of modern medical care.
