| Abstract: |
| This paper systematically reviewed and analyzed the recent publications of robotic-assisted surgeries in
the field of tissue repair and reconstruction. Surgical robots can elevate skin flap more accurately and
shorten the time of tissue harvest. In addition, robotic-assisted surgery has the advantage of minimal
tissue trauma and thus forms minimal scar. The utilization of surgical robots reduces the occurrence of
complications after oral radical tumor resection while achieving cosmetic sutures. Robotic-assisted
radical mastectomy could radically remove invasive breast cancer lesions and achieve breast reconstruction in the first stage through the small incisions in the operation areas. Surgical robots enable
precise microvascular anastomosis and reduce tissue edema in the surgical field. Robotic-assisted technology can help appropriately locate the target tissues at different angles during sinus and skull base surgeries and accurately place tissues during urethroplasty. The robotic-assisted technology provides a new platform for surgical innovation in the field of tissue repair and reconstruction. However, the uncertainty in the survival rate after tumor radical surgery, the increase of operating time, and the high costs are barriers for its clinical application in tissue repair and reconstructive surgery. Nevertheless, robotic-assisted technology has already demonstrated an impact on the field of tissue repair and reconstruction in a meaningful way. |
