Robot-assisted surgery is an advanced form of MAS. The VersiusĀ® surgical robot system was developed with the aim of overcoming some of the challenges associated with existing surgical robots. The present study was designed to investigate the feasibility, clinical safety, and effectiveness of the Versius system in MAS. Results Seventeen articles were reviewed for the study. The investigation comprised a total of 328 patients who had been operated on with this robot system, of which 48.3%, 14.2%, and 37.5% underwent colorectal, visceral, and gynecological procedures, respectively. Postoperative and major complications within 30 days varied from 7.4% to 39%. No major complications and no readmissions or reoperations were reported in visceral and gynecological surgeries. Readmission and reoperation rates in colorectal surgeries were 0-9%. Some procedures required conversion to conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) or open surgery, and all procedures were completed successfully. Based on the studies reviewed in the present report, we conclude that the Versius robot can be used safely and effectively in MAS. Conclusions A review of the published literature revealed that the Versius system is safe and effective in minimal access surgery. However, the data should be viewed with caution until randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been performed. Studies on the use of this robotic system in oncological surgery must include survival as one of the addressed outcomes. 4950 https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm11133754$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8:3-2024-00475-4$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/macau_mods_00004760 5051 610 5550 General Surgery 5550 Gynecology Surgery 5550 Minimal Access Surgery 5550 New Robotic Platform 5550 Urologic Surgery 5550 Versius Surgical Robot System 5550 Visceral Surgery
