Robotic microsurgery gives patients access to advanced treatment options for difficult-to-treat conditions. The Symani® Surgical System helps your surgeon operate with greater precision, supporting your recovery and long-term quality of life.
Bringing Robotic Precision to More Patients
If you or someone you care about is living with lymphedema or preparing for reconstructive surgery following cancer treatment, robotic microsurgery with the Symani Surgical System may be an option. With the only available robotic surgical system for open microsurgery, surgeons can precisely repair delicate vessels and tissues for patients recovering from breast cancer, undergoing head & neck cancer treatment, suffering from lymphedema, or healing from traumatic injuries that require reconstruction.
What is Symani Surgery?
In reconstructive or lymphatic repair procedures, surgeons perform microsurgery to reconnect very small vessels to help restore blood flow to healthy tissue or to redirect lymphatic fluid to reduce swelling associated with lymphedema. With Symani Surgery, surgeons use a robotic system that provides steady and precise movements to perform these delicate procedures with greater accuracy and control, which may lead to improved outcomes.1
