Abstract
The term we use to describe a surgical case that employs robotics influences how experts and laypeople think about this procedure. Robotic surgery is a misnomer because it implies more automation compared to what actually happens. A more realistic description is robot-assisted surgery and this term is likely to help promote more realistic understanding among stakeholders.
