Objective: To understand the context of Robotic Surgery in Brazil. Methodology: Research carried out in Pubmed, Scielo and Virtual Health Library databases using descriptors verified in DeCS. We found 88 results and, of these, 12 articles were selected to compose the results of this review. Results: Robotic surgery is a rapidly evolving technology and is highly effective, but it is still growing in our country, as is the certification of surgeons to act in this way. According to the Brazilian College of Surgeons, the acquisition of specific knowledge and skills for the surgeon to achieve proficiency before performing surgical procedures on humans is essential. In the meantime, there is an educational incentive coming from this institution, proposing certification that integrates training and performance evaluation, since the creation of a regulation for qualification in robotic surgery should encourage Brazilian hospitals to apply objective qualification criteria for this type of procedure, in the sense of qualifying assistance. This is because it has control of the operative field, high resolution image in third dimension (3D), freedom of movement of the instruments, reduction of tremors, greater autonomy of the surgeon with less use of auxiliaries and, mainly, precision. Thus, it is highly advantageous in relation to surgeries such as laparotomy and videolaparoscopy. Conclusion: Robotic surgery is effective in complex and minimally invasive surgeries, in addition to having an advantage over several surgical modalities, due to the low risk of complications. However, certification and education to carry it out should still be encouraged in the country.
