About
Felix L. Struebing is a pioneering figure in reconstructive microsurgery, with a focused research program on the clinical translation and optimization of robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS). His work has been instrumental in defining the technical strategies and learning curves for this emerging field, particularly in complex procedures such as autologous breast reconstruction and peripheral nerve surgery. Struebing’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of robotic platforms for in-flap anastomosis and targeted muscle reinnervation, showing that robotic assistance can enhance precision and reduce tremor when working with sub-millimeter vessels. His landmark prospective study on 50 consecutive robot-assisted microsurgery cases (31 citations) and his subsequent single-center experience with 100 cases (12 citations) have provided critical benchmarks for the field. Beyond technique, Struebing has also investigated the ergonomic benefits and user perceptions of robotic systems, addressing the gap between perceived and actual advantages. His work on bionic reconstruction and the first in-human project combining robotic microsurgery with targeted muscle reinnervation represents a notable achievement at the intersection of surgery and bioengineering. With a rapidly growing citation record, Struebing is a leading voice in the evidence-based adoption of robotic technology in reconstructive surgery.
