Robotic gastrectomy (RG) is a new technology used to perform gastrectomy. A comparison of RG with conventional methods-open gastrectomy (OG) and laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG)-has revealed the advantages and limitations of RG.This study aimed to present the latest research outcomes and current trends in RG.In this paper, we present updates on long-term oncological safety and learning curves as well as a multicenter study on short-term effects.New information on lymph node dissection has been discussed.Researchers have been exploring ways to apply RG in other challenging areas.Among these, bariatric surgery, structure-preserving surgery, and fluorescent imaging have been discussed.Improvements in robotic systems have also been discussed.Although further studies such as randomized controlled studies are needed, we believe that RG will become a significant turning point in the field of minimally invasive surgery.
