Abstract:
Robotic surgery has evolved to be a separate field, with enormous potential for future development in plastic surgery. In the past decade, surgical robots have been increasingly used in the areas of craniomaxillofacial surgery, reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, hair reconstructive surgery, and so on. Technical advantages of robotic surgery, such as 3D vision, stable and magnified image, physiologic tremor filtering, and motion scaling, have been considered as improvement over traditional minimally invasive surgery. Surgeon ergonomics, instrument precision and patients’ postoperative recovery were all objectively improved. However, specialized instruments and equipment, high cost, and lack of haptic feedback are the main limiting factors for the widespread adoption of robotics at present. This review summarizes the development of the robot-assisted techniques, including its outcomes, advantages and disadvantages in plastic surgery in recent years. Finally, the possibilities of combining surgical robots with artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), 5G and other new technologies are also summarized.
