The Art of Automation: Robotics in Breast Reconstruction Thu, Sep 26 9:45-11:45 a.m. PDT

The latest advancements in robotic-assisted breast reconstruction highlight significant progress in improving patient outcomes. The application of robotic-assisted techniques allows for more precise tissue removal, which aids in preserving breast sensation and is also ideal for more delicate breast surgeries. Robotic-assisted techniques are also being explored for other types of breast reconstruction, including direct-to-implant and microvascular procedures.

Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:

  1. Define procedures that may benefit from the use of robotics.
  2. Understand the current research and clinical trials aimed at expanding applications.
  3. Recognize how patient outcomes may be improved.
