Abdominal-based flaps are considered the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction (ABR). With the increasing number of women undergoing mastectomy, however, alternative free flaps from other regions have emerged as valuable altern…

Lymphedema (LE) is a chronic condition, caused by a lymphatic system dysfunction, with no definitive cure. Conservative treatment is the standard of care, but lymphatic reconstructive surgery has demonstrated promising results. After perfor…

Robotic surgery has emerged as a promising technique for reconstructive procedures, offering potential advantages across various surgical fields. Following initial case reports on the use of the Symani Surgical System (Medical Microinstrume…

[PURPOSE] Robotic-assisted surgery currently is evolving as a new field in microsurgery with potential benefits for reconstructive surgery. The Symani Surgical System has shown feasibility in performing microsurgical anastomosis. Reconstruc…

[BACKGROUND] The central nervous system (CNS) was long believed to be devoid of lymphatic drainage. However, the discovery of the glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatics has revolutionized our understanding of cerebrospinal fluid homeost…

[INTRODUCTION] Primary lymphedema (PLE) presumably results from an abnormal development of the lymphatic system. Current PLE management strategies are mainly rooted on practice algorithms well established for secondary lymphedema (SLE). The…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] The goal of this study was to examine the benefits of immediate adjunctive liposuction in patients undergoing lymphatic reconstructive surgery with a focus on complications, limb volume, and patient-reported outc…

[OBJECTIVE] In complex cranial wound closures, plastic and reconstructive surgeons provide advanced techniques to improve healing and reduce complications, including infection. Although this multidisciplinary approach shows promise, data su…

Robotic systems have successfully been introduced into other surgical fields in the past. First attempts with different setups are made in the field of microsurgery. The Symani® Surgical System, a flexible platform consisting of two robotic…

Robotic-assisted microsurgery has gained significant attention in recent years following the introduction of two dedicated microsurgical robotic systems specifically designed for this purpose. These feature higher degrees of movement and mo…

[INTRODUCTION] In recent years advances have been made in the microsurgical treatment of congenital or acquired central lymphatic lesions. While acquired lesions can result from any surgery or trauma of the central lymphatic system, congeni…

[BACKGROUND] Recent advances in robotic microsurgery have enabled the application of robotic technology in central lymphatic reconstruction. Although the use of microsurgical robots demands careful consideration of associated costs and pote…

Achieving precision in microsurgery requires skill, adequate instruments and magnification, as well as extensive training. Dedicated surgical robotic systems have enhanced and expanded the application of (super-)microsurgical techniques by …

[INTRODUCTION] Free flap surgery is a reliable and safe procedure for breast reconstruction. The survival of free flaps depends on their vascular pedicle initially, but neovascularization can sustain their blood supply after a while. Manage…

[INTRODUCTION] Botulinum toxin A (BoTA) is a neurotoxin formed by Clostridium botulinum, with a broad medical application spectrum. While the primary effect of BoTA is on the muscles, the effects of BoTA in other systems including the blood…

[BACKGROUND] Electrical injuries follow a specific pathophysiology and may progressively damage both skin and deeper tissues, frequently ending in amputations. Type and timing of soft tissue reconstruction after electrical burns is crucial …

Micro- and supermicrosurgeries have become standard techniques for lymphatic reconstruction. As increasingly smaller vessels are being targeted, robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as a new approach to push reconstructive limits owing to i…

Advances in the development of robotic systems have recently enabled the use of robotic technology in reconstructive lymphatic surgery. Although the advantages of microsurgical robots must be weighed carefully against the costs, their use m…

The Urofacial or Ochoa Syndrome is a very rare congenital disorder that includes vesical bladder dysfunction and a peculiar inverse facial expression, which brings patients to express a sad-crying face while they intend to laugh. Up-to-date…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal bone fractures are the most common type of facial bone fractures. While the nasal anatomy and closed reduction techniques of nasal fractures are well described, there is a paucity of data reporting on the need for revisio…

In recent years surgical robotic systems which were specifically developed for microsurgery have expanded the application of robotic-assisted surgery to plastic reconstructive surgery. Currently, there are two microsurgical robotic systems …

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic surgery tourism has increased in popularity in recent years, with arising complications and post-operative follow-up care often managed in the client's home country, thereby burdening the Swiss health care system. [ME…

Robotic microsurgery has emerged as a new technology with potential benefits for reconstructive surgery. We report the first-in-human use of the Symani surgical system to perform lympho-venous and arterial anastomosis for lymphatic reconstr…

[INTRODUCTION] Patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) are increasingly relevant to assess surgical quality and guide decisions in breast reconstruction (BR). Satisfaction with outcomes may change as time progresses. We assessed satisfaction in p…

Robotic systems have recently been introduced into micro- and supermicrosurgery showing potential benefits for reconstructive surgery. After showing the feasibility and safety of using the Symani Surgical System® for lymphatic microsurgical…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to report the first case of acute facial allograft transplantation (facial allograft transplantation) failure with allograft removal and autologous free-flap reconstruction. [METHODS] A 49-year-old fe…

[BACKGROUND] Lymphoedema is a progressive and potentially disabling disease. A growing number of studies show promising clinical results after microsurgical reconstruction. However, this treatment is currently not supported by level 1 evide…

[RATIONALE] Degloving foot injuries are challenging to treat and associated with life-long sequelae for patients. An appropriate debridement of ischemic soft tissues with maximal preservation of glabrous skin is key during the reconstructio…

Over the last years, the layout of surgical training has significantly changed. Surgical residents rely on YouTube videos to prepare for upcoming cases. Eyelid surgery including blepharoplasty ranks among the 5 most often performed cosmetic…

Surgery trainees use videos as a means to learn about surgical procedures. YouTube is the biggest online video platform and used for educational content as well but the medical information provided does not undergo peer review or other form…
