| الوصف: | Introduction Robotic supermicrosurgery has the potential to improve complex procedures, but requires advanced training in surgical techniques and in the use of robots. This study aims to establish a suitable animal model for such training. Methods Two microsurgeons with 2 hours of experience on a robotic microsurgery simulator performed 24 anastomoses in superficial caudal epigastric vessels in a rat model. 12 anastomoses were performed with robotic assistance and 12 by conventional techniques. Vessel size, ischemia time and patency were evaluated immediately after anastomosis (T0) and 30 minutes later (T30). Results The study compared arterial and venous anastomoses in rats using robotic and conventional techniques. The average diameter of the arteries was ± 0.4 mm, and veins were ± 0.6 mm. Ischemia time was longer for robotic anastomoses (97.6 minutes for arteries and 118.5 minutes for veins) compared to conventional anastomoses (90.3 and 83.3 minutes). Robotic anastomoses showed better patency, with 6 of 6 arteries and 5 of 6 veins achieving patency at T0, and 5 of 6 arteries and 6 of 6 veins at T30. Conventional anastomoses showed lower patency rates. Conclusion This model is technically feasible and reliable for training in robotic supermicrosurgery. It provides the necessary skills acquisition and familiarization with the technology, improving the safety and efficacy of these specialized procedures. |
