Study Shows Symani® System's Role in Head and Neck Reconstruction

Posted: September 3, 2025
Summary: A single-center study introduces the use of the Symani® surgical system for robotic reconstructions in head and neck surgery. The study, involving 93 patients post-tumor surgery requiring free flap reconstruction, primarily focused on oral squamous cell carcinoma cases. The most commonly used flaps were radial forearm, ulnar forearm, and fibula flaps. While three revision surgeries were conducted, one free flap was lost during the procedures. The research highlights the steep learning curve of robotic microsurgery but emphasizes its effectiveness in performing anastomoses for free flap reconstructions. The study suggests that the Symani robotic system could enhance supermicrosurgery techniques in the long run, calling for further exploration and investigation into the potential benefits of robotic systems in microsurgical procedures.
