Robotically Assisted Microsurgery: Development of Basic Skills Course
نویسندگان
چکیده
Robotically assisted microsurgery or telemicrosurgery is a new technique using robotic telemanipulators. This allows for the addition of optical magnification (which defines conventional microsurgery) to robotic instrument arms to allow the microsurgeon to perform complex microsurgical procedures. There are several possible applications for this platform in various microsurgical disciplines. Since 2009, basic skills training courses have been organized by the Robotic Assisted Microsurgical and Endoscopic Society. These basic courses are performed on training models in five levels of increasing complexity. This paper reviews the current state of the art in robotically asisted microsurgical training.

Basic microsurgery training: comments and proposal.
Microsurgical techniques have been applied in many surgical specialties and have also a broad application in surgical research. It demands high technical skills and continued training. The microsurgical training is lengthy, very expensive and demands high commitment. The microsurgical skills should be first mastered in the lab and only then applied in the clinic. Here, we propose a model of a t...
متن کاملEndoscopic telemicrosurgery or minimally invasive robotically-assisted microsurgery for peripheral nerve repair
Microsurgery comprises a variety of surgical procedures such as neurovascular anastomoses, performed under optical magnification and with fine instrumentation. While refinements have been made since its advent in the 1960s, robotics offers the potential for major technological advancement. Endoscopic telemicrosurgery is minimally invasive, robotically-assisted microsurgery. This technique remov...

Trost et al.6 recently performed the first intracorporeal RAVR for the treatment of bilateral vasal obstruction following bilateral inguinal hernia repairs with mesh placement. This case is relatively uncommon, and the procedure was technically challenging, but successful, with delivery of a healthy child. Intracorporeal RAVR has the advantage of bypassing the inguinal segment, which precludes ...
