Abstract
The incorporation of robotics in minimally invasive surgery has had mixed reception in the different fields of digestive surgery. Nowadays we are exposed to a continuous stream of publications on robotic approach techniques and outcomes, which do not always provide objective criteria and whose value, through scientific evidence analysis, is sometimes arguable.
With the aim of shedding light on current knowledge on digestive robotic surgery and giving an update of its possibilities, the authors analyse the abundant literature available on the different digestive robotic surgery procedures, and sum up their own experience.
Keywords:
Robotic surgery

Resumen
La introducción de la asistencia robótica a la cirugía mínimamente invasiva ha tenido una aceptación desigual en los diferentes ámbitos de la cirugía digestiva. En la actualidad se están produciendo continuamente publicaciones sobre técnicas y resultados del abordaje robótico que no siempre aportan un criterio objetivo y cuyo valor, tras un análisis basado en la evidencia científica, en ocasiones puede resultar cuestionable.
Con el fin de arrojar luz sobre los conocimientos actuales en cirugía robótica digestiva y llevar a cabo una puesta al día de las posibilidades de este abordaje, en esta revisión de conjunto los autores revisan la abundante literatura producida sobre los diversos procedimientos de la cirugía robótica digestiva y suman a ella el testimonio de su propia experiencia
