Abstract
High-level evidence now strongly supports the use of a minimally invasive approach in most abdominal surgical procedures. Minimally invasive surgery is performed with either a laparoscopic or a robotic approach, and the robotic approach has been implemented to overcome some of the inherent limitations of the conventional laparoscopic approach. In Denmark, robotic surgery is widely adopted, and this review describes the application and rationale of a robotic approach in different subspecialties, while also presenting the available high-level evidence.
