OBJECTIVE: Real-time, MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) has been reported as a safe and effective technique for the treatment of epileptogenic foci in children and adults. After the recent approval of MRgLITT by the European Med...
Thermal ablation is an acceptable alternative treatment for primary liver cancer, of which laser ablation (LA) is one of the least invasive approaches, especially for tumors in high-risk locations. Precise control of the LA effect is required to safe...
While laser ablation has become an increasingly important tool in the neurosurgical oncologist's armamentarium, deep seated lesions, and those located near critical structures require utmost accuracy during stereotactic laser catheter placement. Robo...
BACKGROUND: Laser-interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is an ablative treatment based on a surgically implanted laser-emitting catheter to induce a focal ablation of the pathological tissue. The main indications in neurosurgery are primary brain tumor...
PURPOSE: To investigate changes in retinal thickness, drusen volume, and visual acuity following subthreshold nanosecond laser (SNL) treatment in patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).

The aim of the study was to assess the clinical applicability of robot guided laser osteotomy for clinical application. This is the initial report on 14 consecutive patients requiring an orthognathic procedure with a midface osteotomy (no restriction...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To take major advantage of erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) lasers in osteotomy-like freedom of cutting geometries and high accuracy-the integration and miniaturization of the robot, laser, and navigation techn...

PURPOSE: Real-time MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a challenging procedure due to its technical complexity, as well as the need for efficient multidisciplinary teamwork and transfer of an anesthetized patient between operating...
Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome is commonly treated with minimally invasive laser surgery in fetoscopy. The inter-foetal membrane is used as a reference to find abnormal anastomoses. Membrane identification is a challenging task due to small field ...
