Description of CME Course
The use of robotic technologies and artificial intelligence in plastic surgery procedures has been expanding.
Determining the best candidates for robotic surgery and the proper equipment can be challenging. Robotic
technologies and artificial intelligence are rapidly evolving, making it difficult for practitioners to remain up to date with the newest devices, techniques, and competencies. In addition, research data is being published regarding best use of these technologies, further challenging busy practitioners to maintain a current knowledge base.

Educational Objectives
• Discuss the use of robotics in plastic surgery and abdominal wall reconstruction, troubleshoot challenges in robotic surgery, and select the best robotic surgical candidates.
• Formulate plans for learning robotic techniques, credentialing in robotic surgery, and attaining hospital privileges for robotic surgery.
• Review pertinent surgical anatomy for robotic abdominally based flap harvesting and abdominal wall reconstruction.
• Demonstrate surgical techniques, including how to raise abdominal wall flaps, dissect the deep inferior epigastric blood vessels, and perform robotic microvascular and super microsurgical anastomoses.
• Identify opportunities to collaborate with and incorporate techniques from allied surgical fields, including urology, gynecology, and colorectal surgery.
• Describe how image-guided surgery, advances surgical visualization (VR/MR) and artificial intelligence impacts surgical robotics.
