The integration of robots in operating rooms aims to improve the performance and efficiency of various procedures, since it offers remarkable advantages over conventional procedures, in particular precision, hand shake filtering and the possibility of executing complex tasks, however, Considerable challenges still prevail affecting massification and maneuverability on the part of surgeons. In the present work a review of the current state of robotic surgery, the challenges and trends is carried out. Specifically, the need for optimal force feedback mechanisms is evidenced, as well as dynamic visualization through augmented reality or virtual reality. It is not yet possible to determine that robotic surgery has reached standards, however, the integration of alternative technologies will allow surgeons to improve not only the efficiency of the robot, but also of its operation by the surgeon.
