Abstract
The prevalence of lymphedema is likely to rise substantially in the coming decades, given projected increases in cancer. Lymphedema surgeries can improve patients' quality of life, but the shortage of surgeons capable of performing these surgeries may be a barrier to treatment. Robotic platforms may elevate novice and less-seasoned surgeons' skills, expediting their ability to perform lymphovenous anastomoses. At the same time, robotic systems may ameliorate work-related musculoskeletal stresses, which could extend the careers of microsurgeons. Moreover, as research progresses into novel applications, the integration of advanced robotic technology may become crucial. Continued exploration of these emerging fields will not only expand the possibilities for treatment but also necessitate further advancements in surgical techniques and training methodologies. The ongoing development and implementation of robotic systems like Symani could thus be instrumental in addressing the growing global burden of lymphedema and other complex surgical challenges.
