Abstract: Minimally invasive surgeries signify medical progress. Laparoscopic surgeries are widely conducted domestically and internationally. However, in the case of abdominal tumors, the dissection and/or resection of local lymph nodes, as well as the reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract is still difficultly achieved using only traditional laparoscopic techniques. With the development of techniques in informatics, laparoscopy, and robotics, robot-assisted operation systems have been used in surgical procedures. Robot-assisted surgery is a novel technology advantageous in terms of better hand-eye coordination, three-dimensional magnified stereoscopic vision with depth perception, intuitive movements with increased precision, and minimized hand tremors. In most recently performed surgical procedures, the outcomes of those that are robot-assisted appear to be relatively superior compared with traditional laparoscopies. Robot-assisted systems are currently used in cardiology, urology, gynecology, and abdominal surgery. The history, composition, characteristics, and current applications of robotics in abdominal tumors are reviewed in this article.
