[BACKGROUND] Virtual fixtures in robot-assisted retinal surgery require knowledge of the position of the retina with respect to the surgical tool to be effective. Retinal surface estimation is a difficult problem due to the lack of features…

Retinal surgery is one of the most delicate and complex operations, which is close to or even beyond the physiological limitation of the human hand. Robots have demonstrated the ability to filter hand tremors and motion scaling which has a …

[INTRODUCTION] Robotic surgery has expanded across various surgical disciplines, and although its application in microsurgery remains relatively novel, it has shown promise in a variety of microsurgical procedures. This study investigates h…

We report the first UK case of a robot-assisted free flap reconstruction using the Symani Surgical System for microvascular anastomosis. Following resection of a pre-sternal DFSP, a DIEP flap was used for chet wall reconstruction, with the …

Robotic surgery has introduced significant innovations in hand microsurgery, enabling complex procedures such as nerve sutures and arterial and venous anastomoses to be performed with greater precision and control. The Symani® Surgical Syst…

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has advanced treatment for complex oropharyngeal cancers (OPC) by offering minimally invasive, precise approaches, initially for ablative and now for reconstructive procedures. This review examines TORS in O…

[BACKGROUND] Oral and maxillofacial tumors, particularly those requiring mandibular reconstruction, present significant clinical challenges due to the complexities involved in achieving precise surgical outcomes and ensuring post-operative …

Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) is an important approach for preserving teeth with failed root canal treatment. However, implementing minimally invasive osteotomies and accurate apicoectomies can be challenging in anatomically complex areas, …

[OBJECTIVES] Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral laser microsurgery (TOLM) plus neck dissection are viable alternatives to radiotherapy as a treatment modality in select cases of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Many center…

[OBJECTIVE] In the unique clinical context of a retropharyngeal carotid artery (RPC), free flap reconstruction (FFR) may be used for small pathologic tumor (pT)1-2 human papillomavirus (HPV)+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) tu…

Image-guided surgical navigation could potentially improve the accuracy and safety of throat cancer resections in transoral robotic surgery (TORS). However, cost-effective and realistic research and training models for evaluating advancemen…

The aim of the current study was to compare the accuracy of objectively graded microsurgery steps by young professionals using a microscope and a microsurgery robot. 40 students performed three exercises with a dental surgical operating mic…

Breast cancer-related lymphoedema affects up to 20% of patients, leading to arm swelling and reduced quality of life. Conventional treatments include compression therapy, manual lymph drainage, and exercise. Surgical options like lymphoveno…

Oral and craniomaxillofacial bone deformities necessitate treatment through osteotomy. Robot-assisted osteotomy appears promising in oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery, but it lacks sufficient intelligence and comprehensive integration of…

We present the first documented case in Spain of a large midline incisional hernia treated with botulinum toxin A (Botox A) in conjunction with robot-assisted transversus abdominis release utilising the Hugo robot-assisted surgery (RAS) by …

[BACKGROUND]  The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap is the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. However, the conventional procedure's anterior sheath division, from perforating vessels to the pedicle orig…

The integration of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) has transformed various surgical disciplines, including more recently plastic surgery. While RAS has gained acceptance in multiple specialties, its integration in plastic surgery has been gr…

The Symani Surgical System is a novel robotic microsurgical platform. This study investigated its feasibility for arterial reconstructive techniques in an in vitro model. Two senior surgeons without preliminary expertise in robotic surgery …

Precision motion actuation is a key technology for miniature medical robotics in a variety of applications, such as optical fibre-based diagnosis and intervention tools. Conventional inductive actuation mechanisms are challenging to scale d…
