A technical feasibility study on adaptation of a microsurgical robotic system to an intraoperative complication management in dental implantology: perforated Schneiderian membrane repair using Symani^® Surgical System.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the current study was to test the technical and clinical feasibility of a robotic system and investigate its potential in the surgical repair of perforated Schneiderian membranes using an ex-vivo porcine model. Eight pig heads were operated conventionally via a surgical loop and eight pig heads with the surgical robot "Symani^® Surgical System" (Medical Microinstruments, Inc., Pisa, Italy). On each specimen, the Schneiderian membrane was incised over a length of 0.7 mm resembling a perforation. Operation time, the maximum sinusoidal pressure, the course of the pressure and the filling volume were measured. Additionally, adaptation of the wound edges has been detected via scanning electron microscopy. There were no significant differences for the pressure maximum (p = 0
