Abstract

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 arterial anastomosis performed robotically. The procedure was completed safely, marking a significant step in integrating robotic technology into open microsurgery. Despite added setup time, the system offered enhanced precision and ergonomics, supporting its role in future complex reconstructive and supermicrosurgical procedures.

机器人微血管吻合术在自由皮瓣重建中的应用——英国首个报告

我们报告了英国第一例使用Symani手术系统进行微血管吻合的机器人辅助自由皮瓣重建。在切除胸骨前DFSP后，使用DIEP皮瓣重建胸壁，并用机器人进行动脉吻合。手术安全完成，标志着将机器人技术整合到开放显微手术中迈出了重要的一步。尽管增加了安装时间，但该系统提供了更高的精度和人体工程学，支持其在未来复杂的重建和超显微外科手术中的作用。
