What are the benefits of performing a cholecystectomy through a 20mm umbilical port that might increase the risk of abdominal wall complications? Will it be possible to reduce the size of the instruments and scopes to make them suitable for a smaller umbilical port? What role have flexible scopes with operative channels and endoscopic instruments?

Will surgical robots have the potential advantages of precision and miniaturization as well as articulation? Are the current applications and prototypes that drive around in a patient’s body and act as the eyes and hands of a surgeon able to deliver drugs directly to specific receptors?
