About This Trial
This study assesses the performance of robot-assisted microsurgery. Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is the most difficult procedure in microsurgery at this moment. The LVA technique is applied to treat for example breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Therefore, this LVA procedure is compared using a manual expert and the same expert applying robot-assisted LVA.
