ROMERO OTERO, Javier et al. History, evolution and application of robotic surgery in urology. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2007, vol.60, n.4, pp.335-341. ISSN 0004-0614.

Robotic is an antique concep. The first robots used in surgery were precise path systems in the 80´s. Stereotactic neurosurgery was the first field applying this devices. Based on these more complex devices were built: AESOP and Endoassist help the surgeon during the surgery. The surgical assistant will not fatigue and there will be no tremor of the camera. Finally the master-slave devices were developed. They are the most commenly used all around the world. They are involved many types surgery in. To evaluate the cost-effectiviness of robotics in surgery is our responsability. Robotics provides many advantages but also has a few disadvantages including expense.
