==Non-robotic hand-guided assistance systems==
There are also user-friendly nonrobotic assistance systems that are single-hand guided devices with a high potential to save time and money. These assistance devices are not bound by the restrictions of common medical robotic systems. The systems enhance the manual possibilities of the surgeon and his/her team, regarding the need of replacing static holding force during the intervention.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/aisy.201900138|doi=10.1002/aisy.201900138|title=Advanced Intelligent Systems for Surgical Robotics|year=2020|last1=Thai|first1=Mai Thanh|last2=Phan|first2=Phuoc Thien|last3=Hoang|first3=Trung Thien|last4=Wong|first4=Shing|last5=Lovell|first5=Nigel H.|last6=Do|first6=Thanh Nho|journal=Advanced Intelligent Systems|volume=2|issue=8|arxiv=2001.00285|s2cid=209531913}}</ref>

With laparoscopy providing tissue diagnosis and helping to achieve the final diagnosis without any significant complication and less operative time, it can be safely concluded that diagnostic laparoscopy is a safe, quick, and effective adjunct to non‑surgical diagnostic modalities, for establishing a conclusive diagnosis, but whether it will replace imaging studies as a primary modality for diagnosis needs more evidence.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Nar AS, Bawa A, Mishra A, Mittal A | title = Role of Diagnostic Laparoscopy in Chronic Abdominal Conditions with Uncertain Diagnosis | journal = Nigerian Journal of Surgery | volume = 20 | issue = 2 | pages = 75–78 | date = July 2014 | pmid = 25191097 |doi=10.4103/1117-6806.137301| pmc = 4141449 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
