About

Dr. Adriana C. Panayi is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of microsurgery and robotics, with a particular focus on advancing reconstructive surgery. Her most-cited study, "Robot-assisted Microsurgery: Lessons Learned from 50 Consecutive Cases" (2024, 31 citations), is a landmark prospective analysis that systematically evaluates the feasibility and outcomes of robot-assisted free tissue transfer. By documenting the first 50 consecutive cases using the Symani Surgical System, Dr. Panayi has provided critical, real-world evidence that robotic platforms can enhance precision and dexterity in microsurgical procedures, challenging traditional manual techniques. This work has already garnered significant attention, shaping the conversation around the integration of robotics into plastic and reconstructive surgery. Beyond this key contribution, her research portfolio explores the broader applications of robotic assistance in complex wound healing and tissue engineering. Dr. Panayi’s findings are not only advancing surgical technique but also laying the groundwork for safer, more reproducible microsurgical outcomes, establishing her as a leading voice in the next generation of reconstructive surgery.
