The surgical landscape is quickly changing because of the major driving force of robotics. Well-established technology that provides robotic assistance from outside the patient may soon give way to alternative approaches that place the robotic mechanisms inside the patient, whether through traditional laparoscopic ports or through other, natural orifices. While some of this technology is still being developed, other concepts are being evaluated through clinical trials. This article examines the state of the art in surgical robots and mechanisms by providing an overview of the ex vivo robotic systems that are commercially available to in vivo mechanisms, and robotic assistants that are being tested in animal models.
由于机器人技术这一主要驱动力，外科手术领域正在迅速发生变化。成熟的、从患者体外提供机器人辅助的技术可能很快会被替代方法所取代，这些替代方法将机器人机制置于患者体内，无论是通过传统的腹腔镜端口还是通过其他自然孔道。虽然其中一些技术仍在研发中，但其他概念正在通过临床试验进行评估。本文通过概述从市售的体外机器人系统到体内机制以及正在动物模型中进行测试的机器人助手，来审视手术机器人和机制的最新技术水平。
