Abstract

Robotic surgery has become one of the most relevant innovations in contemporary medicine, with applications ranging from urology to cardiac surgery. This integrative review aims to investigate the impact of robotic surgery across different medical specialties, analyzing its benefits, limitations, and implications for clinical practice. Studies published between 2019 and 2025, available in databases such as PubMed, SciELO, and Nature, were analyzed. The results indicate that robotics offers greater precision, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and faster recovery compared to conventional techniques. However, limitations such as high costs and a prolonged learning curve still pose barriers to widespread adoption. It is concluded that robotic surgery is a promising tool whose use should be accompanied by training policies and continuous ethical evaluation.
