Introduction:
We sought to review the current state of robotics in this specialty.
Methods:
A Pubmed and Medline search was performed using key search terms for a comprehensive review of the whole cross-section of plastic and reconstructive practice.
Results:
Overall, 28 publications specific to robotic plastic and reconstructive procedures were suitable for appraisal.
Conclusion:
The current evidence suggests robotics is comparable to standard methods despite its infancy. The possible applications are wide and could translate into superior patient outcomes.
