Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To improve the outcomes of minimally invasive, endoscopic, intracranial procedures, steerable robotic tools have been developed but still require thorough evaluation before use in a clinical setting. This paper compares a novel steerable robotic neuroendoscope tool against a standard rigid tool.
