Technical Strategies and Learning Curve in Robotic-assisted Peripheral Nerve Surgery
The learning curve for RASPN was compared with early experiences with other surgical robots, emphasizing the importance of surgical proficiency and assistant training. Obstacles such as instrument grip strength and blood clot formation were highlighted, and suggestions for future advancements were proposed. RASPN presents an exciting opportunity to enhance precision; however, ongoing research and optimization are necessary to fully harness its benefits.
