Abstract

The integration of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in surgery represents a transformative advancement in modern healthcare, promising enhanced precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes. Recent studies indicate a rapid adoption of AI-assisted robotic surgery across various surgical specialties, driven by improvements in accuracy and reduced complication rates. The research synthesizes findings from 25 recent peer-reviewed studies (2024–2025) on AI-driven robotic surgery. Systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted focusing on clinical efficacy, surgical precision, complication rates, and economic impacts. Quantitative data were extracted from retrospective trials, cohort studies, and systematic reviews to evaluate outcomes compared to manual surgical techniques. AI-assisted robotic surgeries demonstrated a 25% reduction in operative time and a 30% decrease in intraoperative complications compared to manual methods. Surgical precision improved by 40%, reflected in enhanced targeting accuracy during tumor resections and implant placements. Patient recovery times were shortened by an average of 15%, with lower postoperative pain scores. Additionally, studies reported an average 20% increase in surgeon workflow efficiency and a 10% reduction in healthcare costs over the conventional procedures. AI-enhanced robotic surgery significantly improves surgical outcomes through higher precision and efficiency, supporting widespread clinical adoption. Despite upfront costs and ethical concerns, continued innovation and integration promise substantial benefits for patient safety and healthcare resource optimization. Future research should focus on long-term patient outcomes and addressing ethical and training challenges.
