Revolutionising Breast Surgery: A Comprehensive Review of Robotic Innovations in Breast Surgery and Reconstruction

Robotic innovations in breast surgery have ushered in a new era of precision, safety, and patient-centred care. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted realm of robotic breast surgery, from preoperative planning to postoperative outcomes, learning curves for surgeons, and the implications for healthcare policies. We examine the ethical considerations, cost-effectiveness, and future directions, including integrating artificial intelligence and telesurgery. Key findings reveal that robotic systems provide improved surgical precision, reduced complications, and enhanced patient satisfaction. Ethical concerns encompass informed consent, resource allocation, and equitable access. The future of breast surgery lies in continued research and development, ensuring that robotics becomes a standard of care accessible to all patients. This technology is reshaping breast surgery and offering new possibilities for minimally invasive, patient-centred care, ultimately redefining the standards of care in this critical field of medicine.
