Abstract

Background: Surgical care is essential to modern healthcare, impacting morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. Over the past decade, Uzbekistan has advanced its surgical services, integrating minimally invasive, robotic-assisted, pediatric, cardiovascular, orthopedic, and oncologic procedures. Methods: A structured review of PubMed, Scopus, regional databases, and institutional reports from 2014–2026 was conducted. Studies reporting innovative surgical techniques, robotic and minimally invasive interventions, and complex pediatric or oncologic procedures in Uzbekistan were included. Results: Minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, liver echinococcosis management, and ERCP-assisted procedures, is widely adopted, reducing postoperative pain, hospital stay, and recovery time. Robotic-assisted surgery, including radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and complex oncologic procedures, offers enhanced precision, ergonomics, and shorter learning curves. Pediatric surgeries, cardiovascular interventions, orthopedic and onco-orthopedic procedures, and laparoscopic oncologic resections demonstrate improved clinical outcomes. International conferences, workshops, and live surgery demonstrations support skill transfer and research dissemination. Conclusion: Uzbekistan has rapidly adopted advanced surgical techniques with measurable patient benefits. Continued investment in training, infrastructure, and international collaboration is essential to sustain progress and achieve global surgical standards.
