Expanding robotics to new frontiers in patient treatment with the Symani Surgical System

"We can now suture the smallest vessels and nerves - lymphatic vessels with a diameter of 0.3 or even 0.2mm. Previously, these had to have a diameter of at least 1.0mm. The surgical robot overcomes the movement limits of the human hand and thus enables interventions in the tenth of a millimeter range."

"I use Symani mostly, if not exclusively, for lymphedema surgery. My colleagues from the same department will be using it for the breast reconstruction application. But in all reality, the sky is the limit. The human body is full of small things that can be repaired and improved. In the future, the robot might lead to completely unexpected pathways."

"When I think about breast cancer, another complication that I think about is lymphedema that comes from removing the lymph nodes. Today, there are a very small number of surgeons who can freely work on 0.3mm vessels, the average lymphatic vessel size. This is not only unlocking the technological aspect, but also providing solutions to category diseases previously thought impossible to do."

"The benefit of the NanoWrist® instruments is that they are not just forceps and a needle holder, but I can move them like I move my hands. This allows me to be more comfortable and more stable sewing the vessels together. With Symani, the whole procedure is more reliable."
