Evaluating safety and quality of robotic-assisted gastric cancer surgery: meta-analysis and meta-regression
Although there may be potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery, cautious adoption is warranted given the current uncertainty. Safe adoption requires standardized training, competency benchmarks, and limiting industry involvement. High-quality evaluation through randomized trials and parallel health economics is urgently needed to inform future policy and practice.
