Robotic surgical platforms were also successfully applied in the field of breast
reconstruction, either in the harvest of autologous latissimus dorsi flap

The da Vinci surgical platform can perform NSM with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) via
a small axillary wound. In this study of two cases, we report the preliminary experience
and clinical outcome of R-NSM and IBR with robotic latissimus dorsi flap harvest (RLDFH).Keywords
