The modern hospital setting is closely related to engineering and technology. In a hospital, modern equipment is abundant in every department, including the operating room, intensive care unit, and laboratories. Thus, the quality of treatment provided in hospitals and technology advancements are closely tied. Robotic systems are used to support and improve the accuracy and agility of human surgeons during medical procedures. This surgical approach is commonly referred to as robotic surgery or robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). These systems are not entirely autonomous; they are managed by skilled surgeons who carry out procedures with improved accuracy and minimized invasiveness using a console and specialized instruments. Because RAS offers increased surgical precision, less discomfort after surgery, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery time, all of which improve patient outcomes and lessen the strain on healthcare resources, it plays a critical role in public health. Its minimally invasive technique benefits patients and the healthcare system by lowering problems, reducing the requirement for blood transfusions, and reducing the danger of infections related to medical care. Furthermore, the possibility of remote surgery via robotic systems can increase access to specialized care, reducing regional differences and advancing fairness in public health. In this review article, we will be covering how RAS has its role in public health.
