Pilot Study: RoboticScope (Robotic Microscope)–assisted Primary Cleft Palate Surgery

This study concludes that RoboticScope-assisted palatoplasty is safe and feasible, and is associated with fewer analgesic needs, better oral intake, and ergonomic benefits for surgeons than conventional palatoplasty. However, due to the limited nature of the study sample, future multicenter studies with a larger cohort group would be essential to validate these outcomes.

Abstract

This study concludes that RoboticScope-assisted palatoplasty is safe and feasible, and is associated with fewer analgesic needs, better oral intake, and ergonomic benefits for surgeons than conventional palatoplasty. However, due to the limited nature of the study sample, future multicenter studies with a larger cohort group would be essential to validate these outcomes.
