Abstract:
Having established itself in various other areas of surgery as well as in urology, robotics is increasingly gaining importance in plastic surgery. The case presented in this manuscript describes the first published robotic-assisted harvesting of a latissimus dorsi muscle free flap in the German-speaking world. The aim is to increase the knowledge of robotics in plastic surgery and to support the introduction of robotic-assisted plastic surgery in Germany.
