Revolution of Robotics and Automation in Vascular Surgery

This chapter explores the integration of robotics and automation in vascular surgery, emphasizing the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in analyzing big data for improved outcomes. While AI in vascular surgery is nascent compared to other specialties, it shows promise in image analysis and risk prediction. Automation, facilitated by robotics, can streamline surgical procedures, providing coordinated and accurate interventions. Robotic systems offer advantages such as pressure calculations on arterial walls and 3D imaging for precise evaluations. Despite hurdles like cost concerns, the potential benefits include reduced complications and enhanced operator safety. The future may witness increased adoption with advancements in AI and interdisciplinary collaboration.
