Abstract
The penetration of robotics in the domain of surgery and rehabilitation in a biomedical setup has drastically changed the procedures performed and the rehabilitation followed, increasing the precision andlessening the invasiveness, to the benefit for the patient. This review examines the current applications, technological advancements, and clinical effectiveness of robotic devices in surgery and postoperative rehabilitation. For this purpose, a mixed-methods approachwas followed, combining a systematic literature review based on peer-reviewed journals (20152024) and case-study analyses from five leading hospitals in Europe and Asia. Quantitative measurements recovered, such as surgical accuracy,time of recovery, or mobility patients score, were analyzed together with qualitative feedback provided by surgeons, therapists, or patients. Consistently, the outcomes indicate an error reduction of surgical robotsin the case of a system asthe da Vinci Surgical System, around 3550% fewer errors occur,r as well as less (2040%) time needed for the patient to recover. In the rehabilitation field, robotic exoskeletons and assistive devices alsodemonstrated a statistically significant gain of motor function in patients with stroke and spinal cord injury: 70% of such patients reported greater ability to move in an independent manner. Thepaper argues that biomedical robotics is not only revolutionizing surgical practice but also resetting the benchmarks for physical medicine therapy, but challenges of cost, training, and regulation continue to limit widespread use.
