Is Robotic Surgery applicable to Sympathectomy?

Thoughts were given about using the robotic device when performing thoracic or lumbar sympathectomy. In thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) it has no practical role. In the lumbar sympathectomy cases the device needs more space in between arms of the robot. Because of the smaller space that lumbar sympathectomy needs there is no practical role applied to the robotic device.
