Clinical practice and prospects of robotic gastrectomy in the era of precision surgery

Robotic gastrectomy represents a key development trend in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, demonstrating significant advantages in precise anatomy, damage control, organ function preservation, and surgical process optimization. Currently, this technology has transi-tioned from the feasibility verification phase to a new era of standardization exploration and wides-pread application. With the development and maturation of single‑port and remote robotic surgery, as well as the in‑depth integration of smart medical technologies such as artificial intelligence and multimodal navigation, robotic gastrectomy is continuously expanding its application scope. Despite ongoing challenges including high operational costs, a lack of high‑level evidence‑based data, and the need for improved standardization systems, advancements in robotic technology, deeper clinical research, and further optimized surgical processes will drive robotic gastrectomy toward greater precision and efficiency, ultimately benefiting more patients.
