Many experts expressed the view that traditional laparoscopic surgery has reached the end of its development. Further enhancement of the instrumentation and surgical technique refinement are no longer able to make substantial progress to classic laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, great hopes are placed

in the dynamic development of surgical robots. Over the last­ de­cade, robotic surgery operations performed lapa­­ro­scopically mastered, and then, with additional capabili­ties, displaced la­paroscopy in some areas, and has become the reference pro­cedure. Additionally, after taking into account the costs incurred

by the hospital, social insurance and the patient during hospitalization and convalescence, robotic surgery turns out to be the cheaper method than conventional operations, or traditional laparoscopy.
