Robot-assisted surgeries in oral and maxillofacial area: a narrative review on the present, advantages and its future

Abstract

Background and Objective: With the accumulation of advances in minimally invasive surgery in the entire body area, robot-assisted surgeries have become very common in operating rooms, despite of their short history. Thus, advances in robotic surgery are accelerating rapidly, particularly with respect to the maxillofacial region. In this regard, researchers reviewed the literatures using the keywords given below, including systematic meta-analysis. To survey the advantages, future prospects, and cases using robotic systems in oromaxillofacial surgery.
