Drivers

Rising Demand for Minimally Invasive Surgeries:

• To ensure they have less scarring, are less likely to get infections, spend fewer days in hospital, and recover faster than before, patients want more and more of less invasive surgeries. Surgical robots are very good at achieving the required precision in areas that are challenging like urology, gynecology, and cardiothoracic surgery where conventional techniques can be too invasive or inaccurate.

Technological Advancements in Robotic Systems:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) for example enhances motion control, haptic feedback among other instruments that have improved the surgery robotic systems. These developments are making it possible for surgeons to carry out increasingly intricate surgeries with greater accuracy and fewer mistakes, which is encouraging a wider uptake in surgical facilities and hospitals across the globe.

Restraints

Ethical Concerns and Regulatory Hurdles:

• Regulatory bodies like the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States have strict guidelines for the development and use of surgical robots. It can be expensive and time-consuming to comply with stringent requirements, conduct thorough clinical trials, and evaluate safety.

Limited Skilled Workforce:

• Unplanned and prohibitive policies exist regarding the payment for robot-assisted operations that varies significantly among countries and diverse insurance packages in one country. Oftentimes healthcare insurers will reimburse only classic surgical techniques or only partially cover robotic surgery, thus making it less financially viable for both hospitals and patients.
