The limitations involved in open surgeries and laparoscopic procedures coupled with increasing advantages of robotic surgery systems are expected to boost the adoption rates of robot-assisted surgeries worldwide. For instance, the advantages such as smaller incision size, fewer complications, minimization of infection rates,and shorter recovery times are driving surgeons to adopt these robotic systems to

perform various urological surgeries.The emergence of micro and nano robots in robotic surgical procedures is likely to have a positive impact on the market growth, owing to the potential advantages such as single incision surgery, and supplementary visualization. Also, the small arms and micro motors work on the body without the need for a large external machine. Such advantages will drive the adoption rates of these devices.The increasing inorganic growth strategies among vendors are likely to expand their expertise and presence in the market. For instance, Auris Surgical Robots completed its merger with Hansen Medical for a cash consideration of $80 million.The acquisition will add three different robotic systems to Auris Surgical's product portfolio.
