Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful surgical method for hip replacement but still poses challenges and risks. RoboticassistedTHA (rTHA) using new generation robotic systems has emerged to improve surgical precision and outcomes. Thepurpose of this paper is to review the literature on rTHA, with a focus on its advantages, such as individualized preoperativeplanning, intraoperative assistance, and improved accuracy in implantation, especially in complex cases. Additionally, itaims to explore the disadvantages associated with the use of rTHA, including high costs, the learning curve, and prolongedoperation time compared to manual THA (mTHA), which are critical drawbacks that require careful consideration andefforts for minimization. Some financial analyses suggest that rTHA may offer cost-effectiveness and reduced postoperativecosts compared to mTHA. While technological advancements are expected to reduce technical complications, there are stilldebates surrounding long-term outcomes. Practical limitations, such as limited availability and accessibility, also warrantattention. Although the development of rTHA shows promise, it is still in its early stages, necessitating critical evaluationand further research to ensure optimal patient benefits.
