Robot-Assisted Versus Conventional Harvesting of DIEP and Latissimus Dorsi Flaps for Breast Reconstruction in Post-Mastectomy Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Robotic breast reconstruction is an innovative surgical technique that integrates robotic technology into breast reconstruction procedures, offering several advantages over conventional approaches. These benefits include enhanced visualization, increased surgical dexterity, and superior cosmetic outcomes. This study aims to comprehensively compare robotic-assisted and conventional breast reconstruction approaches in terms of complication profiles and operation-related measurements. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CENTRAL, and VHL from inception to October 2024 to identify relevant studies. Risk ratios for the following complications were calculated between the groups: donor site se
