Abstrakt:	The crystalization of the components of bile within the gallbladder can lead to the formation of gallstones (cholelithiasis), which may often require surgical removal of the gallbladder, a procedure known as cholecystectomy, in symptomatic cases. Robotic single-site cholecystectomy (RSSC) is a recently introduced groundbreaking minimally invasive procedure for gallbladder removal. RSSC utilizes robotic technology, offering enhanced dexterity through a single-incision approach, promising improved outcomes such as reduced postoperative pain and superior cosmesis. However, certain limitations, such as restricted instrument movement and heightened hernia risk, necessitate a critical evaluation of this modality. Furthermore, as the widespread adoption of RSSC remains undecided due to concerns over its costs, efficiency, and overall superiority over prior models, this paper assesses future possibilities for RSSC's evolution. In vivo robotics, improved digital imaging, and re-engineering of the surgical instruments themselves are all potential avenues to augment the current RSSC design, although it is currently unclear as to what extent they could impact the procedure's viability. This review critically examines the available literature on the effectiveness and potency of RSSC compared to its predecessors in the modern healthcare setting and proposes future directions through which innovation could more firmly establish the procedure as the standard of care for cholecystectomy.
