Abstract

Introduction: Robotic surgery has experienced exponential growth in recent decades, with the Da Vinci surgical system being the most widely used. Therefore, we sought to analyze the functions of the surgical nurse in robotic surgery, as well as the competencies and roles required for its application.Method: A literature review study analyzed articles obtained from indexed sources such as SCOPUS, PUBMED, SCIELO, CINAHL, and LATINDEX. Using keywords with Boolean operators, these were recorded in Excel for analysis using the CASPe method.Development: The effective incorporation of nursing programs in robotic surgery has shown a positive impact on various healthcare quality indicators. The specialized literature points to a decrease of nearly 30% in intraoperative complications when interventions are assisted by nursing teams with specific training in robotic technology.Conclusion: The coordination of nursing in Da Vinci robotic surgery highlights the importance of transforming traditional roles into highly specialized profiles. These new roles, such as the specialized circulating nurse and the robotic scrub nurse, require not only advanced technical knowledge but also communication and coordination skills within a complex surgical environment.
