Introduction: Recent years have witnessed a significant transformation in surgery with the introduction of robotic surgical systems. While robotic surgery offers potential advantages over traditional techniques, including precision and maneuverability, rigorous evaluation of its efficacy and safety compared to conventional methods remains necessary. Despite numerous studies focusing on specific aspects of robotic surgery outcomes, a comprehensive, cross-sectional examination of its advancements across surgical specialties is lacking. Objectives: This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes, compare effectiveness, identify surgical trends, assess technological advancements, and identify barriers and challenges to the widespread adoption of robotic surgery. Materials and Methods: The study assessed clinical outcomes of patients undergoing abdominal surgeries via robotic-assisted or traditional surgical techniques. Data on patient demographics, surgical details, and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: The majority of surgeries (60%) were conducted robotically, with robotic-assisted laparoscopic colectomy being the most common procedure. Surgeon experience varied, with 40% being experienced robotic surgeons. Postoperative complications were observed, including wound infections (12%), surgical site bleeding (8%), anastomotic leaks (5%), and organ injuries (3%). Operative times averaged 180 minutes, with a mean hospital stay of 5 days. Conversion rates to open surgery were approximately 10% for robotic procedures and 8% for laparoscopic procedures. Patient-reported outcomes showed significant improvements in pain scores and quality of life postoperatively. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into abdominal surgeries, emphasizing the growing acceptance of robotic techniques and the efficacy of surgical interventions in improving patient outcomes. Continued research and collaboration are essential for refining surgical practices and optimizing patient care in the field of abdominal surgery.
