Robotic surgery has revolutionized modern operative practice, offering unmatched precision, dexterity, and visualization beyond the limits of traditional techniques. This research topic, "Advances in Robotic Surgery: Innovations, Applications, and Future Directions," brings together multidisciplinary contributions that explore the evolution, challenges, and future trajectories of robotic-assisted surgery, with growing attention to anesthesiologic integration. (1) As robotic technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, incorporating artificial intelligence (AI), haptic feedback, and enhanced visualization, it not only transforms the surgeon's performance but also reshapes anaesthetic and perioperative management. Robotic surgery is inherently multidisciplinary, and its success depends on the seamless 35 collaboration between surgeons and anesthesiologists.

Keywords: robotic surgery, Anesthesiology, artificial intelligence, Perioperative management, Intelligent operating room, surgeon's performance
