A pioneering robotic surgery performed by the French Breast Institute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On November 27, 2017<\/strong>, a team from the French Breast Institute (Institut Fran\u00e7ais du Sein, IFS)<\/strong> at the Clinique Alma in Paris<\/strong> successfully performed the first robotic breast reconstruction without implants<\/strong> using a DIEP flap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This groundbreaking procedure was led by Dr. Marc-David Benjoar<\/strong>, plastic surgeon in charge of breast reconstruction at IFS, assisted by Dr. Francis Dubosq<\/strong>, a urological surgeon specializing in robotic surgery, and Dr. Ya\u00ebl Berdah<\/strong>, plastic surgeon. The seven-hour operation<\/strong> was a complete success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a DIEP flap?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DIEP flap<\/strong> (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator flap) involves harvesting skin and fat from the abdomen<\/strong> to reconstruct the breast without the use of a silicone implant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure vascularization of the transplanted tissue, the surgeon must also remove a deep artery and vein from the pelvic region<\/strong>, which are then microscopically reconnected<\/strong> to vessels in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of robotic assistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, this highly delicate phase requires a 15 cm incision<\/strong> in the abdominal wall, which can lead to significant postoperative pain<\/strong> and abdominal wall curvature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the Da Vinci robotic surgical system<\/strong>, this part of the operation was performed with unprecedented precision<\/strong>, reducing the abdominal incision to only four centimeters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exceptional recovery and future outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The entire surgical team was impressed by the patient’s rapid recovery<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
• Minimal postoperative pain<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Mobilized the next day<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Discharged just 5 days after surgery<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  This first case marks a major technological and medical advancement<\/strong> in breast reconstruction, combining the latest robotic innovation with microsurgical expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Toward broader accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  We hope to be able to offer this cutting-edge, less invasive solution<\/strong> to a larger number of patients<\/strong> in the future\u2014particularly those seeking breast reconstruction without implants<\/strong>, with reduced scarring and recovery time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
