Robotic surgery is feasible for acute care surgeons.

Findings indicate that robotic surgery can be safely integrated into acute care surgery practices. An analysis of 200 procedures revealed that common operations included cholecystectomies and hernia repairs, achieving comparable hospital lengths of stay to laparoscopic methods. Notably, only two operations required a conversion to open surgery. These results suggest that robotic techniques could enhance surgical practice, with further studies planned for multi-center trials comparing robotic and traditional laparoscopic surgeries.
