Abstract:
The use of robotic surgery has grown exponentially during the last two decades in many surgical specialities. Since robots offer 100% tremor elimination and up to 5-to-1 motion scaling, robotic plastic surgery will allow the performance of minimally invasive procedures with the highest levels of precision. Some applications of robotic plastic surgery have already been described, and more are almost certain to emerge in the near future. However, robotic assisted surgery and microsurgery requires additional skills that need to be mastered and so specific training is mandatory. In this presentation, we highlight the importance of robotic assisted surgery in plastic surgery, focusing first on why a robotic plastic surgery program should be implemented and how it can improve our daily surgical practice. Secondly, we discuss how it should be implemented in order to ensure that it is feasible, safe, and will improve patients’ outcomes.
