Abstract

The aim of the lecture was to show to the health executive's detailed information about the development of robotic surgery and the strategy adopted by companies to introduce it on the health systems. Robotic applied to surgery has been considered one of the 10 more impacting technologies during 2018. Itsinsertion inthe discipline of surgery has followed a disruptive strategy, nevertheless the high cost has been the most contradictory element.This had a negative influence on the decision of the health systems to purchase itand on the consensus statements done by scientific societies, who have been cautious until the robotic surgeryshows the required evidences of the cost-effectiveness.Nevertheless, although 30 years have not been enough to consider the preceding surgical technologies obsolete or displace them, robotics will play an even greater role in the development of surgery. The operating rooms of the future will have integrated systemsin which all of its elements will be based on information and surgical robots will be only a simple component.In this framework, total integration of the conventional or laparoscopic surgery will not be possible. Conversely, the robots are indeed considered information systems completely controlled by computer.
