Robotics surgery is defined as the involvement of robotically assisted surgical (RAS) devices that enable the surgeon to use computer and software technology to control and move surgical instruments through one or more tiny incisions in the patient’s body (minimally invasive) for a variety of surgical procedures. RAS devices generally have three main components: a console, the bedside cart, and a separate cart containing the supporting hardware and software [6]. The healthcare industry is undergoing automation with the rising number of robotic technologies. Various types of robots are being used at present, each one having its unique features and applications in surgery. The most basic classification is shown in Figure 5.1.

Video games also appear to teach perceptual skills.For example,people who play video games show better attention to cues across the visual field and attend to more visual cues overall than people who do not play video games (Green & Bavelier,2003).A recent study also found that surgeons who have some experience playing video games perform laparoscopic surgery faster and make fewer mistakes (Rosser et al.,2004).Laparoscopic surgery is a type of surgery in which a tiny camera is inserted into the abdomen through one small incision,and surgical instruments are inserted through other small incisions;once the camera and instruments are inserted,surgeons use keypads and joystick devices to operate while they watch their performance on a monitor.
Intervention: Nanotechnology in Reconstructive Intervention and Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is performed by making small incisions and inserting and manipulating surgical instruments through the openings, without the necessity of cutting an incision large enough for the surgeon’s hands or exposing the organs (laparotomy) [60-62]. Endoscopic surgery combines endoscopy with laparoscopic surgery [63]. Historically, laparoscopic surgery originated with fishing for bullets or shrapnel without the aid of imaging or endoscopy. Laparoscopic surgery can be performed today by using x-ray or MRI to guide the surgeon in real time, or by stereotaxy, using images obtained in advance, combined with stereotaxic fixtures to maintain accurate positioning and guidance of the surgical probes.

There has been a significant development in the field of surgery over the last few years to facilitate and improve surgeons' performance and patients' safety. Earlier, surgeons used to perform laparotomy procedures by cutting the abdominal cavity wide open, to view the internal organs directly. This often requires a big incision of about 100 mm in length (Buia et al. 2015). Laparoscopic procedure, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) used by surgeons to operate upon the abdominal cavity by viewing the internal organs through a monitor. Depending on the type of surgery, up to four small incisions of less than 10 mm are made in the abdomen through which instruments like a laparoscope, dissector forceps, and suction–irrigation (S–I) device are inserted. A laparoscope is a 330 mm long device with a high-resolution camera used for viewing organs in the abdominal cavity. The dissector forceps is used for grasping and dissecting the infected tissue. The S–I process is used to clean and disinfect the abdominal cavity to enable safe and efficient surgical intervention. This is done by sucking out blood and other body fluids and irrigating with a disinfectant such as saline water. S–I instruments must be sterilized properly to avoid the clotting of blood and trapping of tissue inside it. Some advantages of the laparoscopic procedures include minimal scarring, less trauma, less post-operative pain, less chances of infection to patients and surgeons, reduced duration of stay in the hospital, and faster recovery time (Chambers et al. 2011; Li 2011; Santos et al. 2011; Zhu et al. 2017).

Almost all the surgeries performed before the 20th century were open incision surgeries, i.e. the human body is cut wide open for surgery. In open incision surgery, surgeons cut open a part of the human body, to operate on the affected tissue. After surgery, the opened part is stitched. Open surgeries have many disadvantages like significant recovery times, post-surgery pain, and a possible infection developed in the body. This affects the quality of life. In some cases, even after a couple of months, patients cannot resume a normal lifestyle due to blood loss and other complications.

Surgery is evolving – from open surgery to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to robotic surgery – in order to generally improve the patient outcome. The driving force of these developments are technological advances such as the miniaturization of mechanical components and endoscopic imaging (Rassweiler et al. 2017; Klodmann et al. 2021). In laparoscopic MIS, one or more small incisions are made and an endoscope and tools are introduced to the patient’s body to allow the surgeon to perform the procedure.
