Plastic and reconstructive robotic microsurgery--a review of current practices

D B Saleh et al. Ann Chir Plast Esthet. 2015 Aug.

Abstract

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.

Keywords: Microchirurgie robot-assistée; Reconstruction robot-assistée; Robotic microsurgery; Robotic reconstruction; Telemicrosurgery; Télémicrochirurgie.
