A comprehensive review of 31 surgical robotic platforms (SRPs) highlights their transformative impact on robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries (RMIS). By integrating AI-based computer-assisted surgery (CAS) systems, SRPs enhance clinical outcomes through precise execution. The analysis introduces a new classification system for SRPs and evaluates 27 video-guided CAS systems, pinpointing both benefits and limitations. This work not only outlines the current landscape but also emphasizes the need for further research in surgical robotics.
