Abstract

Simple Summary: Robot-assisted surgery facilitates the examination and improvement of artificial intelligence (AI) integration in surgical processes through the provision of comprehensive telemetry data and an advanced viewing interface. Machine learning (ML) techniques enhance the feedback on the development of surgical abilities, the efficacy of the surgical operation, surgical guiding, and predicted results. By incorporating tension sensors on the robotic arms and employing augmented reality techniques, the surgical experience can be greatly improved. This enables the continuous monitoring of organ movements in real time, resulting in enhanced precision and accuracy. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into robotic surgery is anticipated to have a substantial influence on the education of upcoming surgeons and improve the entire surgical process. Both endeavours strive for ultimate accuracy in order to enhance the quality of surgical care. With the rapid increase in computer processing capacity over the past two decades, machine learning techniques have been applied in many sectors of daily life. Machine learning in therapeutic settings is also gaining popularity. We analysed current studies on machine learning in robotic urologic surgery. We searched PubMed/Medline and Google Scholar up to December 2023. Search terms included "urologic surgery", "artificial intelligence", "machine learning", "neural network", "automation", and "robotic surgery". Automatic preoperative imaging, intraoperative anatomy matching, and bleeding prediction has been a major focus. Early artificial intelligence (AI) therapeutic outcomes are promising. Robot-assisted surgery provides precise telemetry data and a cutting-edge viewing console to analyse and improve AI integration in surgery. Machine learning enhances surgical skill feedback, procedure effectiveness, surgical guidance, and postoperative prediction. Tension-sensors on robotic arms and augmented reality can improve surgery. This provides real-time organ motion monitoring, improving precision and accuracy. As datasets develop and electronic health records are used more and more, these technologies will become more effective and useful. AI in robotic surgery is intended to improve surgical training and experience. Both seek precision to improve surgical care. AI in ''master–slave" robotic surgery offers the detailed, step-by-step examination of autonomous robotic treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
