Robotic DIEP flap dissection

Robotic DIEP flap dissection using Symani and the Synaptix Digital Surgery Platform

First-ever microsurgical robotic dissection performed using the Symani Surgical System. The patient subsequently underwent autologous breast reconstruction following implant removal and capsulectomy.

“The combination of Synaptix and the NanoWrist dissection instruments has markedly elevated the precision of my tissue dissection compared with the standard approach. This level of accuracy not only refines the technical execution but also shows strong potential to minimise donor-site morbidity.”

– Francesca Ruccia │ The Royal Marsden Hospital

For the first time, a DIEP flap was dissected robotically using the dedicated dissection kit

Robotic dissection of the pedicle, perforators, and sensory nerve was carried out with the NanoWrist Scissors and Forceps

Microvascular anastomosis: arterial anastomosis was successfully executed with robotic precision
