Abstract
During the last four years, robot-assisted surgery systems are increasingly being applied in endoscopic surgery. They were introduced with the objective to overcome the challenges of standard endoscopic surgery. With the improvements in manipulation and visualisation that robotic-assistance offers, technologically complex procedures can be performed endoscopically and standard endoscopic procedures can be performed easier and with greater comfort to the surgeon. This paper describes the experiences with robot-assisted surgery in the University Medical Centre Utrecht, the Netherlands.
