Robot-Assisted Simulated Strabismus Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of robot-assisted simulated strabismus surgery using the new da Vinci Xi Surgical System and to report what we believe is the first use of a surgical robot in experimental eye muscle surgery.

Methods

Robot-assisted strabismus surgeries were performed on a strabismus eye model using the robotic da Vinci Xi Surgical System. On the lateral rectus of each eye, we performed a procedure including, successively, a 4-mm plication followed by a 4-mm recession of the muscle to end with a 4-mm resection. Operative time from conjunctival opening to closing and successful completion of the different steps with or without complications or unexpected events were assessed.

Results

Robot-assisted strabismus procedures were success
