MicroChats: Why Robotics in Microsurgery Matters

Watch on YouTube

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

Hear from experienced robotic microsurgeons, Dr. Andrea Moreira and Dr. Jesse Selber, as they discuss the benefits of robotics extending into the open surgery space with the Symani Surgical System. They talk about the crucial role innovation plays in enhancing patient care and share their experiences in effectively aligning administration and their teams to drive positive change.
