Robotic and Computer-Assisted Surgery is transforming modern healthcare by enhancing surgical precision, control, and patient outcomes through advanced technologies such as robotic systems, artificial intelligence, computer-guided navigation, and real-time imaging. These innovative approaches enable surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy and minimal invasiveness, reducing complications, blood loss, postoperative pain, and recovery time. Widely adopted across specialties including general surgery, urology, gynecology, orthopedics, cardiothoracic surgery, and neurosurgery, robotic and computer-assisted techniques continue to redefine surgical standards. This session will highlight the latest advancements, clinical applications, emerging technologies, training methodologies, and future developments that are shaping the next generation of precision surgery and improving the quality of patient care worldwide.
