In the past ten years, a great amount of research on the dVRK has been carried out across a vast range of research topics. To accelerate research on robotic-assisted surgery, the retired first-generation da Vinci robots have been redeployed for research use as "da Vinci Research Kits" (dVRKs), which have been distributed to research institutions around the world to support both training and research in the sector. Until now, the da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, California) has been the most widely adopted robot of this kind, with more than 6,700 systems in current clinical use worldwide.
Telesurgical robotic systems provide a well established form of assistance in the operating theater, with evidence of growing uptake in recent years.
