Robotic Microsurgery

Abstract

Microsurgery has been significant in the advancement of reconstructive and vascular surgery. Robotic assistance in microsurgery has played a key role in the elevating the comfort and outcomes of several procedures. Although initially created to enhance laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures, the Da Vinci has been modified and used in multiple microsurgical interventions. The introduction of robots specially made for microsurgery and supermicrosurgery, like the MUSA and Symani, has helped us to understand the extent of microsurgical procedures. Furthermore, future uses of robotic microsurgery have been discussed. With the favorable outcomes seen in several studies, its role in possibly treating Alzheimer's disease is an optimistic prospect in the future.
