Computer-assisted surgical systems, or surgical robots as they are more commonly called, are complex new devices which may be used to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures. There are certain technical limitations to a traditional laparoscopic approach that these devices can help a surgeon to overcome. Several surgical teams have applied these new devices to surgical procedures of the upper gastrointestinal tract and foregut.
A retrospective review of the currently published literature on robotic foregut surgery.
Robotic foregut surgery appears to be feasible and safe. These procedures may be associated with increased operative time and cost when compared to their traditional laparoscopic counterparts. Procedures that require complex manoeuvres, delicate dissection, or a magnified high-definition image may be best suited to a computer-assisted approach.
Robotic foregut surgery is an exciting new field with tremendous potential for growth and dissemination.
计算机辅助手术系统，或更常见的被称为手术机器人，是可用于执行微创手术的复杂新设备。传统腹腔镜手术方法存在某些技术限制，而这些设备可帮助外科医生克服这些限制。几个手术团队已将这些新设备应用于上消化道和前肠的手术。
对目前已发表的关于机器人前肠手术的文献进行回顾性研究。
机器人前肠手术似乎可行且安全。与传统腹腔镜手术相比，这些手术可能会增加手术时间和成本。需要复杂操作、精细解剖或放大高清图像的手术可能最适合采用计算机辅助方法。
机器人前肠手术是一个令人兴奋的新领域，具有巨大的增长和传播潜力。
