Robotic surgical systems, such as the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, California), have revolutionized laparoscopic surgery but are limited by large size, increased costs, and limitations in imaging. Miniature in vivo robots are being developed that are inserted entirely into the peritoneal cavity for laparoscopic and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgical (NOTES) procedures. In the future, miniature camera robots and microrobots should be able to provide a mobile viewing platform. This article discusses the current state of miniature robotics and novel robotic surgical platforms and the development of future robotic technology for general surgery and urology.
机器人手术系统，如达芬奇手术系统（直观外科公司，加利福尼亚州桑尼维尔），已经彻底改变了腹腔镜手术，但受到体积大、成本高和成像限制的制约。正在研发的微型体内机器人可完全插入腹腔，用于腹腔镜手术和经自然腔道内镜手术（NOTES）。未来，微型摄像机器人和微型机器人应能够提供一个移动观察平台。本文讨论了微型机器人技术和新型机器人手术平台的现状，以及未来普通外科和泌尿外科机器人技术的发展。
