Abstract: Robotic Surgery is a novel minimally invasive surgery which is advanced from the endoscopic surgical techniques. This new technique has a promising future to be applied in clinics because of the distinct and compelling advantages compared with the traditional endoscopic surgery, including true three-dimensional endoscopic vision, increased freedom of movement of instruments and tremor filtration. We review the potential applications, advantages, limitations of the da Vinci Surgical System in otolaryngology.
