Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Single port laparoscopy (SPL) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) are next-generation minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures which could further reduce patient trauma. Robotic assistance shows great potential in providing augmented motion precision and manipulation dexterity. This article reviews the robotic systems recently developed for SPL and NOTES.
