| Summary: | The Symani Surgical System is a novel robotic microsurgical platform. This study investigated its feasibility for arterial reconstructive techniques in an in vitro model. Two senior surgeons without preliminary expertise in robotic surgery performed different techniques in a porcine artery circulation model (bypass, patch plastic, and direct closure of arteriotomy). There was an overall improvement in procedure times with a minor leakage rate and upper range values in the qualitative assessment of anastomoses. In this model, the Symani Surgical System seems to be suitable for the robotic-assisted conductance of microsurgical procedures on arterial vessels. |
