Abstract

Robotic surgery is a growing field with increasing applications to patient care. With the rising use of artificial intelligence (AI), a new frontier emerges, allowing semiautonomous robotics. This article reviews the origins of robotic surgery and subsequent trials of automaticity in all fields. It then describes specific nascent robotic and semiautonomous surgical prototypes within the field of otolaryngology. Finally, broader systemic considerations are posited regarding the implementation of AI-driven robotics in surgery.
