Tampa General Hospital, which became the first center to offer Symani robot-assisted lymphatic microsurgery in January 2025, highlighted in July 2026 how the technology enables surgeons to suture lymphatic vessels as thin as 0.2 mm, allowing earlier intervention that halts disease progression or enables complete recovery for oncology patients with lymphedema.
