Current Limitations of Surgical Robotics in Reconstructive Plastic Microsurgery

Surgical robots have the potential to provide surgeons with increased capabilities, such as removing physiologic tremor, scaling motion and increasing manual dexterity. Several surgical specialties have subsequently integrated robotic surgery into common clinical practice. Plastic and reconstructive microsurgical procedures have not yet benefitted significantly from technical developments obser...

Hypotension in Reconstructive and Plastic Surgery

to 60m.m.Hg. and with no ill effects at the end of the anaesthesia and the tremination of the operation the drops of the serum which contains 15mg. Wyamin will be in­creased to rise the blood pressure, now if the anaesthetic drug is Halothane recovery is quick and if Ether is used it is a little pro­longed. If while operating there is need for further injection of Adrenaline solution in the ope...

Robotics in plastic and reconstructive surgery: use of a telemanipulator slave robot to perform microvascular anastomoses.

Many methods for microvascular anastomoses exist, including use of magnifying loupes (x 2.5, x 3.5, x 4.5, x 6), but the operating microscope remains the gold standard. The authors present the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) as an alternative method for performing microvascular anastomoses. The da Vinci robot has fully articulating microinstruments with six degrees ...
