• Abstract:

  Objective: To analyze the complications and safety associated with the use of robotic surgery in gastrointestinal procedures and comparing these results with traditional surgical methods. Methodology: Integrative review using the PubMed database, with the keywords "robotic surgery", "gastrointestinal" and "complications". 603 studies were found, of which 8 were selected. Results: The studies reviewed indicated that robotic surgery offers significant advantages such as better anatomical visualization, improved surgical precision, and the potential to reduce patient recovery time. However, challenges such as prolonged operational time and high costs were consistently reported. Furthermore, its application in emergency procedures was limited, being more common in elective surgeries. Final Considerations: The integrative review demonstrates that robotic surgery has the potential to improve clinical results in gastrointestinal procedures, although there are still challenges to be overcome, such as high costs and prolonged operating time.
