About

Semra Uyulmaz is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of robotic microsurgery in reconstructive and plastic surgery. Her research primarily focuses on the clinical translation and evaluation of novel robotic microsurgical systems, specifically the Symani Surgical System®, for complex lymphatic and vascular procedures. Dr. Uyulmaz’s major contributions include demonstrating the first-in-human feasibility and safety of using this robotic platform for performing supermicrosurgical lympho-venous and arterial anastomoses in lymphatic reconstruction. Her work has been instrumental in defining the learning curve for this emerging technology, with her 2022 study on the topic garnering 100 citations, underscoring its significance in the field. Her early clinical experience paper, with 89 citations, further solidified the potential of robotic assistance to enhance precision in reconstructive surgery. By systematically documenting these initial outcomes and technical nuances, Dr. Uyulmaz has provided a foundational roadmap for the adoption of robotic microsurgery, positioning her as a key innovator in the evolution of plastic and reconstructive surgical techniques.
