Robotic surgical systems are well known for features such as ergonomic manipulation, a stable camera command, and articulation. The increased accessibility and manipulation of tissue provided by an articulating instrument has been suggested to enhance surgical precision. Furthermore, some retrospective studies that compared robotic surgery to standard laparoscopy reported improved clinical outcome in favor of robotics in rectal cancer surgery. ARTISENTIALⓇ, an articulating laparoscopic instruments, featuring a multi-degree-of-freedom level of dexterity and a 360-degree wristed capability of the end effector, similar to that known from surgical robotic systems. I would like to address the current status and results comparing surgical outcomes between robotics and laparoscopy using articulating devices.
