Decision making and patient care in oncological reconstructive surgery have considerably evolved in recent years. New surgical assistance technologies are helping surgeons push the boundaries of what can be achieved. These technologies include: ergonomic surgical microscopes, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence, cutting guides and 3D printing, Augmented Reality and high magnification, full HD eye-piece image injection as well as 2D and 3D video recording.

In the White Paper accessible below, Dr. Romain Bosc, a Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon at the Henri Mondor Hospital in Créteil, France, looks at how each of these technologies support surgeons and the role they can play. He explores the benefits and cases in which they are particularly useful, to reduce complications and improve outcomes.

Dr. Bosc also discusses the future of reconstructive surgery, and the emerging groundbreaking technologies currently being tested. These innovative solutions, such as smart glasses with Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence for computer-assisted decision-making, robot assistance and telesurgery remote guidance, could further augment surgeons’ abilities.

Discover the new technologies transforming oncological reconstructive surgery, with the progressive shift to a hybrid Operating Room. Learn about the opportunities each technology offers, and how they can help overcome challenges and limitations, improving the quality of reconstructions.
