Abstract:
This study evaluated the performance of Sinaflex Robotic Telesurgery System, Iran's first multipurpose robotic surgical platform, in simulated tubal ligation procedures using prepubertal canine uterine horns (1-2 mm diameter) as anatomical analogs for human fallopian tubes. Six female stray dogs underwent robotic-assisted bilateral uterine horn ligation. The procedures were completed with a mean operative time of 81.7 ± 47.2 with minimal blood loss not requiring intervention in any cases. Postoperative monitoring confirmed successful outcomes in all cases without any intraoperative complications, with all animals achieving full recovery within 24 h. These outcomes demonstrate Sinaflex Robotic Telesurgery System's precision in delicate surgical applications and mark significant progress in developing this indigenous robotic platform for clinical use.
