Robotic help for delicate blood vessel and nerve surgery
This trial tests a robotic device called MUSA-3 that helps surgeons connect very small blood vessels, nerves, or lymph vessels during procedures like free flap surgery or lymphedema treatment. It may help make these delicate connections more precise and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to have a procedure that connects very small structures like blood vessels, nerves, or lymph vessels (for example, a free flap or nerve repair).
- The study team must decide you are a good fit for the MUSA-3 device.
- You must be able to understand the study and sign a consent form.
- You cannot be in another drug or device study at the same time.
- If you have lymphedema, it cannot be the most severe stage (Stage III or higher), and you cannot be allergic to marcaine or indocyanine green.

This trial uses a robotic arm called Symani to help surgeons perform more precise microsurgery (working on tiny blood vessels and lymph channels). It is for adults with moderate lymphedema in one arm or leg who have already tried standard lymphedema therapy and still have swelling.
This study tests a robotic system (Symani) to help surgeons perform very precise microsurgery, either to reconnect tiny blood vessels during a free flap procedure or to treat lymphedema (chronic swelling). It may help people with lymphedema who have not gotten full relief from compression therapy.
This trial tests a new robotic-assisted surgery to reconnect tiny lymph vessels in people with head and neck swelling. It may help reduce the swelling and improve daily life.
This study tests a new robotic-assisted surgery to improve drainage of lymph fluid in the neck, which may help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It is for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who have specific biomarkers.
This trial tests a new robotic ultrasound tool to see if it can better find cancer in lymph nodes during surgery. It may help doctors decide exactly which nodes to remove, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
This trial tests whether a robotic surgical procedure on the neck's lymphatic vessels can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. If it works, it might slow down memory decline.
