PURPOSE OF REVIEW

The development of the robotic systems has made surgery an increasingly technology-driven field. Since the introduction of the first robotic platform in 2005, surgical practice in South Korea has also been caught up in the global robotic revolution. Consequently, a market focused on improving the robotic systems was created and Korea has emerged as one of its frontrunners. This article reviews the Korean experience in developing various robotic technologies and then Korea's most recent contributions to the development of new technologies in robotic surgery.

RECENT FINDINGS

The goal of new technologies in the field of robotic surgery has been to improve on the current platforms by eliminating their disadvantages. The pressing goal is to develop a platform that is less bulky, more ergonomic, and capable of providing force feedback to the surgeon. In Korea, the Lapabot and two new robotic systems for single-port laparoscopic surgery are the most recent advances that have been reported.

SUMMARY

Robotic surgery is rapidly evolving and Korea has stayed in the forefront of its development. These new advancements in technology will eventually produce better robotic platforms that will greatly improve the manner in which surgical care is delivered.

目的综述：机器人系统的发展使外科手术成为一个日益依赖技术的领域。自 2005 年第一个机器人平台问世以来，韩国的外科实践也卷入了全球机器人革命。因此，一个专注于改进机器人系统的市场应运而生，韩国也成为了该市场的领跑者之一。本文综述了韩国在开发各种机器人技术方面的经验，以及韩国在机器人手术新技术开发方面的最新贡献。

最近的发现：机器人手术领域新技术的目标是通过消除现有平台的缺点来改进现有平台。当务之急是开发一个更轻巧、更符合人体工程学且能向外科医生提供力反馈的平台。在韩国，Lapabot 和两种用于单孔腹腔镜手术的新型机器人系统是最新的进展。

总结：机器人手术正在迅速发展，韩国一直处于其发展的前沿。这些技术上的新进展最终将产生更好的机器人平台，极大地改善外科护理的提供方式。
