Résumé

Twenty years ago, laparoscopic surgery entirely changed the traditional style of surgical operations. However, it was difficult to perform some interventions, particularly in restricted space or if acts of reconstruction are necessary. It was necessary to develop new technologies such robotic surgery, Me detail the different technologies and we precise the place of the robotic surgery in oncological surgery In conclusion, we believe that, in the near future as robotic technology continues to develop, it could replace traditional surgery not only in the treatment of benign diseases but also in malignant illnesses.
