Abstract
Microsurgery necessitates exceptional skill and precision. However, human limitations can impact surgical accuracy. Therefore, incorporating robotics into microsurgery holds significant promise. Robotic platforms offer various advantages in microsurgery, such as tremor filtration, precise motion scaling, and the ability to navigate intricate anatomical spaces. Robotic assistance can enhance surgeon dexterity and mitigate issues related to fatigue. This chapter discusses a dedicated robotic platform for (super)microsurgery named MUSA (MicroSure B.V.), detailing its evolution and its current clinical studies. The use of the MicroSure system and robotic technology in general is expected to support microsurgery, enhance quality, and expand treatment options.
