Background The complexity of plastic microsurgery yields many risks. Robot assistance has been sought to maximize outcome and minimize complications. Reportedly, it offers increased dexterity and flexibility with attenuated human flaws, such as tremors and fatigue. This systematic review will further investigate that claim.
