Abstract

Robotic-assisted surgery has gained interest due to its potential for improved precision, reduced trauma and quicker recovery. This cross-sectional survey assessed patient satisfaction and quality-of-life outcomes in 100 patients who underwent robotic-assisted procedures across various specialties. The findings revealed high satisfaction levels, with 85% of patients expressing positive feedback about surgical outcomes. Quality-of-life improvements were noted in pain reduction, physical recovery and psychological well-being. Minor dissatisfaction arose from discomfort during postoperative stages and extended recovery periods in complex cases. The results highlight the need for enhanced preoperative counseling to align patient expectations, reinforcing robotic-assisted surgery as a method associated with high satisfaction and improved quality of life.
