In this application, a fibular osteotomy planning algorithm is presented in [10] to plan fibular. The motion path of the robotic arm displayed in Fig.
9 follows the planned osteotomy planes with the automatic fibula
osteotomy completed under optical navigation. This surgical planning was performed on 35 patients, and the authors achieved precision and convenient preoperative planning. Safety and reliability of the osteotomy trajectory are also other positive aspects observed. The associated system used for the robotic application is displayed in Fig. 12 [10].

Robotics is used during free flap reconstruction of head and neck surgery in [32]. Extirpation of oropharyngeal tumors safely without the need for lip-split incision or mandibulotomy is possible by using robotics; therefore, use of robotics as a part of oropharyngeal reconstruction for tumor excision is feasible. The authors investigated the effectiveness of robotics use of head and neck cancer patients that underwent ablation surgery and free-flap reconstruction. Patient demographics, location of the tumor, pathologic stage, reconstruction methods, flap size, recipient vessel, necessary pedicle length, and operation time are collected and investigated in the five cases that were performed by the surgeons. Four radial forearm free flaps and one anterolateral thigh free flap were performed. The authors demonstrated the clinical applicability of robotics use in oropharyngeal reconstruction, especially using a free flap. It is concluded that a robot can
https://t.me/medicina_free
assist the operator in insetting the flap at a deep portion of the oropharynx without the need to perform a traditional mandibulotomy. Complications including flap necrosis, hematoma, and wound dehiscence did not occur [32].
6 Robotics and Facelift Plastic Surgery
Facelift, which is also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure for rejuvenation of the face. The goal is to restructure face appearance and its consequent antiaging effect by stretching the skin and the muscles of the face along with the removal or insertion of fat as necessary [19].
Research and literature results reported on robotics applications for facelift use are limited. One important aspect of the expected outcome from the application is the cosmetics of the postoperative design. Procedures that can be followed for local resection in malignant mandibular pathologies include lip-split, angle-split, or visor flap incision with extension of the incision into the neck for performing neck dissection. Data are collected from three patients in [12] that had undergone robotics-assisted facelift surgeries in India. Robotics assistance is used for neck dissection with a modified facelift approach followed for achieving oncological safe resections with good cosmesis by the authors. The skin incision was planned such that a visible scar can be avoided. The analysis is conducted by using primary, functional, and aesthetic outcomes’ data and bone defect length. A 6-month follow-up with the patients indicated their satisfaction with the aesthetic outcomes and functional results. The authors concluded the robotics-assisted surgical method’s effectiveness for fulfilling cosmetic satisfaction without compromising oncological outcomes.
Various surgical procedures have been performed in patients with branchial cleft cysts, including transcervical, transcervical-transparotid, transcervical-transmandibular, video-assisted trans-sternocleidomastoid vertical muscle approach, endoscopic surgery, and robot-assisted surgery. Branchial cleft cysts may require facelift of patients. From the cosmetic point of view, endoscopic or robot-assisted surgery also have merit; however, the facelift procedure does not require any special equipment and devices. The facelift procedure has socioeconomic and technical advantages over endoscopic or robot-assisted surgery [19].

There is also facelift approach to thyroidectomy that we don’t cover here and leave it to the readers to discover in examples of articles that cover the associated content such as [164166].
7 Hair Transplantation and Robotics
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) are the two hair procedures performed, with FUE being the most commonly performed procedure [167, 168]. Introduction of robotics improved the manual application of FUE from precision and speed perspectives [19]; details of robotics use as a part of hair transplantation will be covered in this section using a particular robotic system. One of the robotic systems
widely used for hair transplantation is ARTAS® (by ©Neidel), which is displayed in Fig. 13 [169].

ARTAS robotic system has an adjustable patient chair, a robotic arm, a control screen, and a computer workstation with a mobile and movable
https://t.me/medicina_free
nature. Robot’s functionality is internet access dependent. All data are monitored, collected, and stored by the system. The robot has high­resolution cameras and sensors installed for scanning of the treatment area. The system is capable of calculating the hair group quantity, pattern and quantity of the distribution, and hair length data. The dynamic changes are displayed that are attained from the scanned area. During the punching process, a sharp needle rotates through the surface of the skin, which is followed by the push of a blunt sleeve over the sharp needle, which is then penetrating the depth up to the level of the hair bulb [169]. This process does not impact the hair root shaft or the hair bulb.
Resistance sensors are used for determining the depth of sharp and blunt needles’ penetration. Drilling angle is also calculated by the system during the penetration. One of the advantages of the automation is the real-time readjustment of the parameters automatically. It is possible for the doctor to manually adjust the robotic system; however, such interference is recommended to only advanced users of the system [169]. Fixation of the robot is essential during the setup of the process. The doctor determines the appropriate needle size prior to the robotic surgical procedure; patients with very dense and stable hair, such as dark-haired patients, require the use of very fine 20-Gauge needles. Collection kits 18 and 19 are most widely used in applications.
The treatment chair is designed to meet the needs of the range of the robot’s reachability.
As a part of lean application, the position of the chair can be marked on the floor. The cameras of the robotic system should be able to capture the fine target points such as follicular units. To tighten the skin, an orientation frame (“frame”) is inserted into the stunned area with the manual guidance of the robot to this area. The location of the head is fixed with the fixation of the frame on the head rind with (silicone) cords. The procedure starts after the completion of autofocusing by the doctor.
Bleeding can occur if a patient stays longer than 2h in the robot chair due to impatience of the patient. Local anesthetics may have to be injected one more time in such a setting. Reliable setting adjustments are automatically accomplished by the robot, including sharp and blunt punch depth and punch angle. Setting adjustments are also made by the system as the tissue setting changes therefore the default settings work well. Impatience of the patient impacts the punching process and slows the
https://t.me/medicina_free
robot’s work. Calmness of the patient impacts the operating time of the robotic system; faster heartbeat of the patient prolongs the working time therefore calming the patient is an important part of the procedure.
The receiver channels for the follicular units can be produced automatically which depends on the version of the robot. One important advantage of an automated system is its ability to automatically analyze certain aspects of the procedure. Follicular unit distribution area and count of the punched units are automatically calculated by the robotic system. Usable transplant and punched unit numbers are expected to be the same under ideal conditions. Transplants with a lot of surrounding tissue are obtained through the combined punching process that has an important role in the survival of the hair roots. The robot is determined to deliver relatively good hair root transplants with consistency when compared to other methods. One other advantage of robotics use is the rareness of serious complications in robot-assisted hair transplantation. Only operational side effects have been observed with a suitable treatment within 2weeks [169].

Another study that investigated the effectiveness of robotic surgery for hair transplantation is explained in [170]. Similar to the improvement points made in [169], the authors determined the usefulness of robotics during hair transplantation, which allowed time savings and minimal invasiveness. The importance of experienced staff is also mentioned in the article. Additional and similar investigations are outlined in [170175].
8 Conclusions and Future Work
Advancement of robotics and the associated technologies have come along a long way for engineering plastic surgical procedures just like the technologies and procedures outlined in [14, 18, 28, 33, 46, 135, 143148,
160, 193202]. Technologies incorporated into facial plastic surgeries in
addition to 3D printing and robotics included augmented reality, virtual
https://t.me/medicina_free
reality, simulation software, CT scan images, machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, cameras, sensors, laser technologies, and software used for advanced data analysis. These technologies also impacted the training of the surgeons and assistants in addition to the increased personnel need for technicians for setting up robots. Robots such as da Vinci require training of surgeons, and the associated staff experience is essential for successful surgical outcomes as outlined throughout this work.
There are other robotics-associated advancements that are emerging, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them in the near future as a part of facial plastic surgeries. Such technologies include soft robotics and nano­scaled robots. While soft robotics is used in several head and neck surgeries, to the best of our knowledge, such robots are not used for plastic surgeries for cosmetic purposes. Incorporation of these technologies into the rehabilitation of patients as well as surgical procedures would be potential advancements in this field of research and applications.
One other important aspect of robotics applications that we see a need for improvement is rehabilitation before and after surgical procedures. As outlined in [180191], psychological well-being of plastic surgery patients may prevent them from going through facial plastic surgeries if there isn’t a necessity for the surgery. Robotics can be used for treating patients prior to plastic surgeries, which may prevent them from undertaking plastic surgeries; we invite researchers to invest in this area of research and determine the effectiveness of robots for such applications.
Advancements in camera technologies can also be incorporated into robotics in order to advance the surgical outcomes of facial plastic surgeries. For instance, a facial landmark-guided surface matching method for image-to-patient registration using an RGB-D camera is developed in [25]. Five facial landmarks are localized from preoperative MR images by the authors by using deep learning and RGB image using Adaboost with multiscale block local binary patterns. The accuracy of the developed noninvasive method is determined to be comparable with the state-of-the­art similar technologies and helpful with time savings.
In addition, advancements in microsurgery that evolved super microsurgery enabled advancements in surgical procedures. One example of a robot is the world’s first dedicated robotic platform for (super)microsurgery, named MicroSure’s MUSA (MicroSure, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) [192]. This robot is designed to improve the stabilization
https://t.me/medicina_free
of movements of microsurgeons by filtering tremors and scaling down motions. The robot is easy to maneuver, equipped with arms holding surgical instruments that are compatible with conventional surgical microscopes. Preclinical tests and clinical case series with MUSA have confirmed the safety and feasibility of this robot in performing microsurgical anastomosis.
There are improvements in the microsurgical techniques that can be integrated into robotics that would allow tissue transfer improvement to range from 96% to 100% [19]. Additional improvement opportunities in applications include development of smartphone apps that may revolutionize free flap monitoring [6] and employment of software use for presurgical planning and flap design guided by dedicated software [30].
Some of the failures in robotics applications in surgical procedures are determined to be careful planning, staff training, and issues that may arise associated with the robot such as internet connection and optical tracker. Smartphone applications and advancements in cameras, sensors, AI, etc. can further advancement of facial plastic surgeries.
Given the most recent developments in nanorobotics, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them taking place in facial plastic surgeries. One potential application of such technology can be posttreatment of patients for structural surface design. Integration of nano-scaled robots with AI would be not surprising to see in applications. We strongly recommend integrating psychological treatments and robotics for the well-being of surgical candidates, which may help them to prevent from undertaking plastic surgeries.
