surgical arms first used in 1985 when neurosurgical biopsy performed. although 1985 first time surgery took place mechanical arm, scientists have been working on developing surgical arms centuries. in 1495, leonardo da vinci designed complex robotic arm, paved way surgical arms of future.

in 1990, fda allowed endoscopic surgical procedures done automated educational substitute operator (aesop) system. not improvement fda made, however. while aesop system more of computer motion system, first surgery system came in 2000. in 2000, leonardo da vinci’s discoveries led “da vinci surgery system” become first robotic surgery system approved fda (moran). da vinci’s design , creativity of complex surgical arm on 500 years in making.
