Next-Generation Insights on Autonomous Surgical Robotics (Paperback)

Autonomous surgical robotics transforms modern medicine, promising precision, consistency, and intelligence in the operating room. As advances in AI, machine learning, and robotics converge, next generation systems move toward adaptive and autonomous decision making. These platforms enhance surgical accuracy, reduce variability in patient outcomes, and expand access to high quality care, particularly in settings where specialized expertise is limited. Exploring the latest insights in this field may further reveal the ethical, safety, and regulatory frameworks needed to ensure its responsible integration into clinical practice. Next-Generation Insights on Autonomous Surgical Robotics explores the impact of autonomous technology and robotics on surgery and surgical practice. It examines the effects of surgical robotics on personalized healthcare, patient management and monitoring, and medical accessibility. This book covers topics such as medical technology, ethics and law, and patient monitoring, and is a useful resource for engineers, medical and healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
