Abstract

Brachial plexus surgery requires extensive incisions. They are esthetically unsightly and compromise the quality of recovery after nerve repair surgery. We present a new approach to brachial plexus surgery using mini-invasive robot-assisted surgery to perform a biopsy of an intraneural perineurioma of the right brachial plexus in a 12-year-old girl.
