Anaesthetic management of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery

Recent trend shows that minimally invasive surgery is in great demand. Robot-assisted procedures have become more popular, as they overcome several drawbacks of traditional laparoscopic techniques. Robotic surgery, however, might necessitate changes in how patients are positioned and how staff and equipment are organised generally, which might go against the traditional approach to anaesthesia care. The novel effects of this technology have the potential to produce paradigm-shifting therapeutic improvements. To provide better anaesthetic treatment and advance patient safety, anaesthesiologists should be aware of these developments by understanding the fundamental components of robotic surgical systems.
