[BACKGROUND] The free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap is the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction. Asian patients often present with a smaller body mass index with relatively insufficient tissue. To resto…

In general, a trend towards transoral resection (as opposed to classic open approaches) + neck dissection + adjuvant radio- (chemo-) therapy has been observed for oropharyngeal carcinoma over the last 20 years. Techniques of transoral surge…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] To analyze oncological and functional results of transoral minimally invasive surgery (TMIS) for supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma (SGLC), and investigate independent prognostic factors. [METHODS] Seventy SGLC pa…

[BACKGROUND] Robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS) is gradually becoming the preferred method for some delicate surgical procedures. However, the lack of haptic feedback reduces the safety of the surgery. Surgeons are unable to feel the graspi…

Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (nTOS) is caused by brachial plexus compression in the thoracic outlet. It accounts for 85%-95% of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) cases, which may also be caused by compression of the subclavian artery an…

To explore the operational accuracy and operative time of oral surgery robot-assisted endodontic microsurgery on a head-simulator for clinical reference. Three pairs of surgical simulation models were set up on head-simulator. Each model i…

[BACKGROUND] Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal malignancy optimizes oncologic outcomes while preserving functionality. This study identifies patterns of functional recovery after TORS with free flap reconstruction (FFR). […

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] Lymphedema is a common issue after surgery and oncologic treatment, affecting millions of people worldwide. A better understanding of the condition has provided an increasing possibility of a tailormade treatment …

The development of novel robotic devices specifically designed for open microsurgery leads to increasing applications in reconstructive procedures. While initial studies revealed improved precision and surgical ergonomics upon robotic assis…

The role of robotics has grown exponentially. There is an active interest amongst practitioners in the transferability of the potential benefits into plastic and reconstructive surgery; however, many plastic surgeons report lack of widespre…

We present the first-in-human robot-assisted microsurgery on a lymphocele in the groin involving a man in his late 60s who had been coping with the condition for 12 months. Despite numerous efforts at conservative treatment and surgical int…

Breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer management. Conventional techniques of flap harvesting for autologous breast reconstruction are associated with considerable complications. Robotic surgery has enabled a new spectru…

[OBJECTIVE] Supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents a major surgical challenge in organ-preserving treatment. Type I open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL I) is considered the most popular. To date, minimally-invasive app…

Reducing morbidity has been the goal of many reconstructive microsurgery efforts. Several techniques have been described for deep inferior epigastric perforator flap breast reconstruction to minimize abdominal donor-site morbidity. Although…

In robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS), surgeons often face the challenge of operating with minimal feedback, particularly lacking in haptic feedback. However, most traditional desktop haptic devices have restricted operational areas and lim…

Indocyanine green-guided near-infrared fluorescence imaging has gained clinical acceptance lately. This technology can be particularly advantageous in the case of robotic flap harvest. This article presents a new approach to deep epigastric…

There has been a significant increase in robot-assisted dental procedures in the past decade, particularly in the area of robot-assisted implant placement. The objective of this case report was to assess the initial use of the Yomi Robot's …

[BACKGROUND] In recent years, various robotic systems specifically designed for microsurgical tasks have been developed and approved. There is not much evidence for these systems to date. In our study, we examined the use of robot-assisted …

[BACKGROUND] With the introduction of novel surgical robots and surgical microscopes for the special needs of open microsurgery, the concept of robotic-assisted microsurgery is gaining popularity. While initial preclinical studies indicate …
