Robotic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last 30 years. This technique<br>is particularly attractive due to its minimally invasive nature, high precision compared<br>to open and laparoscopic techniques, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay for<br>patients, and faster recovery. For an anesthesiologist, robot-assisted operations involve<br><br>numerous challenges resulting from the surgical technique. The most important problems during anesthesia include changes in physiology resulting from the development<br><br>of pneumoperitoneum and a steep Trendelenburg position. This review discusses problems that may be encountered by an anesthesiologist performing anesthesia during<br><br>robotic surgery.
