“…So far, the role of robots in oral and maxillofacial surgery include [35][36][37]: (1) the drilling of holes with an automatic stop after penetrating the bone in order to protect the tissue lying deep to the bone, (2) the milling of the bone surfaces according to a three dimensional operation plan, (3) performing osteotomies and allowing for precise threedimensional transposition of the subsequent bone segments, (4) positioning of dental or surgical implants, and (5) preoperative selection of osteosynthesis plates and their intraoperative positioning in defined positions.…”

Surgical correction of congenital and acquired facial deformities has transcended the primitive era of using non biologic materials to current attempts at own face growing through biotechnology. A summative account of this trend is still lacking in the literature. The objective of this article is to present an update on current knowledge in the strides to achieve functionally and aesthetically perfect facial reconstruction. It highlights the impact of advancements in 3D imaging, stereolithographic biomodelling, microvascular surgical tissue transplantation and tissue biotechnology in the surgical efforts to solve the problems of facial disfigurement whether congenital or acquired.

“…The system is programmed based on pre-operative imaging and intra-operative registration to cut a precise cavity in the femoral canal [81][82][83][84] . The FDA approved the system after significant pre-market testing for failure modes [85][86][87] . Many believe that a fully automated surgical robot is unattainable due to subtle variations in human anatomy that demands human skills beyond the capabilities of an algorithm 88 .…”
