Dock the Robot for the Injured Patient: Patterns and Trends of Robotic Surgery Use in Trauma Patients
RobSurg utilization in the trauma setting remains limited but perhaps increasing, especially in non-teaching and level II/III trauma centers, with its use largely restricted to subacute interventions. Further studies are needed to examine the effectiveness of RobSurg compared to open or laparoscopic surgery in injured patients.
