Core Tip	Robotic technology is increasingly being employed in surgery to overcome the disadvantages associated with use of conventional techniques such as laparoscopy. However, despite significant promise, robust evidence base supporting the use of robotic assistance remains lacking. Prospective, multicentre randomised controlled trials to evaluate efficacy, long-term outcomes, safety and cost are the next steps before widespread uptake of this technology to treat patients. Moreover, with the unprecedented need for patient safety, it is imperative that adequate training and assessment strategies are in place to bridge the gap between conventional techniques and robotic surgery without harm to patients.
