[RESEARCH PROGRESS OF PERIPHERAL NERVE SURGERY ASSISTED BY Da Vinci ROBOTIC SYSTEM].
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the research progress of peripheral nerve surgery assisted by Da Vinci robotic system.


METHODS
The recent domestic and international articles about peripheral nerve surgery assisted by Da Vinci robotic system were reviewed and summarized.


RESULTS
Compared with conventional microsurgery, peripheral nerve surgery assisted by Da Vinci robotic system has distinctive advantages, such as elimination of physiological tremors and three-dimensional high-resolution vision. It is possible to perform robot assisted limb nerve surgery using either the traditional brachial plexus approach or the mini-invasive approach.


CONCLUSIONS
The development of Da Vinci robotic system has revealed new perspectives in peripheral nerve surgery. But it has still been at the initial stage, more basic and clinical researches are still needed.
