During surgery for foci-related epilepsy, neurosurgeons face significant difficulties in identifying and resecting MRI-negative or deep-seated epileptic foci. Here, we present a neuro-robotic navigation system that is specifically designed for resect...
The use of robot-assisted frameless stereotactic electroencephalography (SEEG) is becoming more common. Among available robotic arms, Stealth Autoguide (SA) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) functions as an optional instrument of the neuronavigation ...

INTRODUCTION: A 12-year long, prospective, single center study was conducted, comparing two frameless systems for brain biopsies: ROSA robotic-assisted stereotaxy and BrainLab Varioguide image-guided stereotaxy (Image Guided Surgery, IGS).
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Insertion of ventricular catheters into small ventricles may require image guidance. Several options exist, including ultrasound guidance, frameless, and frame-based stereotactic approaches. There is no literature on manage...

BACKGROUND: We present a novel robotic neuronavigation system (RONNA G4), used for precise preoperative planning and frameless neuronavigation, developed by a research group from the University of Zagreb and neurosurgeons from the University Hospital...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and duration of Remebot robot-assisted frameless brain biopsy with those of standard frame-based stereotactic biopsy.
Spine surgery is continuously evolving. The synergy between medical imaging and advances in computation has allowed for stereotactic neuronavigation and its integration with robotic technology to assist in spine surgery. The discovery of x-rays in 18...
OBJECTIVE: Robotic positioning systems for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) promise improved accuracy and stability of coil placement, but there is limited data on their performance. Investigate the usability, accuracy, and limitations of robo...
