Robotic surgery is being used successfully in various surgical specialities like Urosurgery, Neurosurgery, Vascular surgery, Cardiac surgery, Oncosurgery, Gynacology, general surgery, etc. Robotics has gained significant popularity in Plastic surgery over past few years. The spectrum of procedures is vast, including flap dissection, Flap harvest, vascular anastomosis, microsurgery, super microsurgery, etc.
The advantages are multifold, like enhanced precision, degree of freedom, flexibility, excellent control, better ergonomics, improved spatial configuration, lower complication rates, faster recovery, and overall improved surgical outcomes.
