A consensus document on robotic surgery

Excerpt

Robotic surgical devices have developed beyond the investigational stage and currently are routinely used in minimally invasive general surgery, pediatric surgery, gynecology, urology, cardiothoracic surgery, and otorhinolaryngology. Robotic devices continue to evolve. As they become less expensive and more widely disseminated, these devices likely will become more frequently used in surgical procedures. The leadership of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and the Minimally Invasive Robotic Association (MIRA) believed that guidelines for the use of robots in surgery were lacking, and that the surgical community would benefit from a consensus statement on robotic surgery including guidelines for training and credentialing. …
