Robot-assisted, real-time, MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy for pediatric patients with hypothalamic hamartoma: surgical technique, pitfalls, and initial results.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
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...

Prediction of In Vivo Laser-Induced Thermal Damage with Hyperspectral Imaging Using Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Robotic guidance platform for laser interstitial thermal ablation and stereotactic needle biopsies: a single center experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
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...

Robot assisted laser-interstitial thermal therapy with iSYS1 and Visualase: how I do it.

Acta neurochirurgica
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...

Effects of subthreshold nanosecond laser therapy in age-related macular degeneration using artificial intelligence (STAR-AI Study).

PloS one
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).

First-in-man application of a cold ablation robot guided laser osteotome in midface osteotomies.

Journal of cranio-maxillo-facial surgery : official publication of the European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery
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...

Comparing the Bone Healing After Cold Ablation Robot-Guided Er:YAG Laser Osteotomy and Piezoelectric Osteotomy-A Pilot Study in a Minipig Mandible.

Lasers in surgery and medicine
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...

Deep learning-based monocular placental pose estimation: towards collaborative robotics in fetoscopy.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a placental defect occurring in monochorionic twin pregnancies. It is associated with high risks of fetal loss and perinatal death. Fetoscopic elective laser ablation (ELA) of placental anastomoses...

Highly realistic simulation for robot-assisted hypothalamic hamartoma real-time MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT).

Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery
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...

Inter-foetus Membrane Segmentation for TTTS Using Adversarial Networks.

Annals of biomedical engineering
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 ...
