Abstract

Technological advancements gradually lead to the revision and transformation of healthcare, training, and research. Surgery is a field of medicine where the collaboration of human resources and the application of innovative technologies could elevate faithfulness and efficiency. The article, exploring the technologies and analyzing them in terms of their reliability, the benefits of performing precision surgeries, the effectiveness in the outcome of surgery with less psychosomatic fatigue, and the improvements in the training process for surgeons, emphasizes the safety and quality that can be achieved. The study was conducted by searching the relevant papers mainly from 2016-2024 using different online databases such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed to examine the impact of adopting new technologies in medicine. This paper highlights that the use of innovative technologies in a wide range of surgical procedures could, by adapting interdisciplinary procedures, provide significant results in issues related to safety, quality, reliability, and training.

Keywords: Healthcare; Innovative Technologies; Quality; Safety; Surgery.
