Minimally invasive surgical techniques have revolutionized the field of surgery. Telesurgical manipulators (robots) and new information technologies strive to improve upon currently available minimally invasive techniques and create new possibilities.
A retrospective review of all robotic cases at a single academic medical center from August 2000 until November 2002 was conducted. A comprehensive literature evaluation on robotic surgical technology was also performed.
Robotic technology is safely and effectively being applied at our institution. Robotic and information technologies have improved upon minimally invasive surgical techniques and created new opportunities not attainable in open surgery.
Robotic technology offers many benefits over traditional minimal access techniques and has been proven safe and effective. Further research is needed to better define the optimal application of this technology. Credentialing and educational requirements also need to be delineated.
微创外科技术给外科领域带来了变革。远程手术操作器（机器人）和新信息技术致力于改进现有的微创技术并创造新的可能性。
对一家学术医疗中心在2000年8月至2002年11月期间的所有机器人手术病例进行回顾性研究。同时也对机器人手术技术进行了全面的文献评估。
机器人技术在我们机构得到了安全有效的应用。机器人和信息技术改进了微创外科技术，并创造了开放手术无法实现的新机遇。
与传统的微创技术相比，机器人技术有诸多优势，且已被证明安全有效。需要进一步研究以更好地界定该技术的最佳应用。还需要明确资格认证和教育要求。
