Area of Science:

  • Microsurgery
  • Robotics
  • Lower Extremity Reconstruction

Context:

  • Advancements in robotic systems for microsurgical tasks are emerging.
  • Limited evidence exists for the efficacy of these robotic systems.
  • Robot-assisted microsurgery is being explored for complex reconstructive procedures.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the use and outcomes of the Symani robotic system in lower extremity microsurgical reconstruction.
  • To compare robot-assisted microsurgery results with conventional techniques.

Summary:

  • 42 robot-assisted microsurgical procedures on the lower extremity were performed using the Symani system.
  • Procedures included free flap reconstructions, lymphatic surgery, and nerve transfers, with a total of 46 anastomoses and coaptations.
  • No conversions to conventional surgery were needed; outcomes were comparable to traditional microsurgery, with a 5% arterial thrombosis rate and one total flap loss.

Impact:

  • Robot-assisted microsurgery with the Symani system offers a viable alternative for lower extremity reconstruction.
  • The findings support the integration of robotic technology into microsurgical practice.
  • Further research can explore long-term outcomes and broader applications of robotic microsurgery.
