Abstract : Robot-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (RA-CABG) has gained recognition as a less invasive substitute for traditional CABG, offering potential benefits in patient recovery and lower complication rates. This systematic review examines the safety, effectiveness, and postoperative results of RA-CABG in comparison to standard CABG and alternative revascularization methods.

Keywords : Robotically Assisted CABG, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Systematic Review, Outcomes Assessment.
