Robot arm aims to make tiny blood vessel surgery safer
NCT ID NCT07427823
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a robot called MUSA-3 that helps surgeons connect tiny blood vessels, nerves, or lymph vessels during operations. About 30 adults needing this type of microsurgery will take part. The goal is to see if the robot is safe and works well compared to doing the procedure by hand.
