General surgical diseases have been long treated via conventional (open) or laparoscopic operations. With the advances in technology, there is a paradigm shift from conventional laparoscopy. As a result, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), and robotic surgery have evolved as new treatment options for minimal invasive surgery. It has been shown in many series that a wide variety of procedures of general surgery can be managed safely and effectively by robot assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS). In this review, current advances and practice in robotics in the most commonly applied gastrointestinal surgical procedures will be emphasized.
