MicroChats: Robotic Perforator to Perforator DIEP for Breast Reconstruction
Against the record
Symani, from MMI (Medical Microinstruments), is at stage 5 of 5 on our ladder: regulator-cleared or mass market. Cleared where approval applies, or widely sold. The latest milestone on its record is from 4 May 2026: Baptist Health in Jacksonville, Florida did the first operation in a US study (REMIND) testing Symani microsurgery for Alzheimer's and similar brain diseases. The study plans 15 patients.
This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.
From the video's description
Watch this for insights from leading microsurgeons, Professor JP Hong and Professor Maximilian Kückelhaus, on the advantages of the perforator-to-perforator approach and a novel DIEP technique utilizing the Symani Surgical System. They discuss their experiences with the robotic learning curve and share their thoughts on the impact robotics could have on microsurgery.
