Abstract

Surgical robotic systems have the potential to facilitate and increase the efficiency of surgical procedures, and improve patient outcomes. However, the up-take of this technology has been poor despite considerable research activity and the existence of several available commercial systems. In this paper, the reasons for poor up-take are examined by evaluating the clinical evidence base for several commercial surgical robotic systems. In particular, clinical need and efficacy are assessed. It is argued that a low quality evidence base and inability to prove an advantageous cost-to benefit ratio are the major inhibitors to wide-spread adoption of current surgical robotic systems.
