The clinical application of neuro-robot in the resection of epileptic foci: a novel method assisting epilepsy surgery.

Journal of robotic surgery
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...

[Robotics and computer-assisted procedures in cranial neurosurgery].

Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany)
BACKGROUND: The medical technical innovations over the last decade have made operations in the highly sensitive regions of the brain much safer.

Primary Experiences with Robot-assisted Navigation-based Frameless Stereo-electroencephalography: Higher Accuracy than Neuronavigation-guided Manual Adjustment.

Neurologia medico-chirurgica
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 ...

Pushing the boundaries of accuracy and reliability during stereotactic procedures: A prospective study on 526 biopsies comparing the frameless robotic and Image-Guided Surgery systems.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
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).

Neuromate robot-assisted ventricular catheter insertion.

British journal of neurosurgery
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...

Development and Validation of a Novel Calibration Methodology and Control Approach for Robot-Aided Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This article presents the development and validation of a new robotic system for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), characterized by a new control approach, and an ad-hoc calibration methodology, specifically devised for the TMS appl...

Frameless stereotactic brain biopsy: A prospective study on robot-assisted brain biopsies performed on 32 patients by using the RONNA G4 system.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
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...

A comparison of the efficacy, safety, and duration of frame-based and Remebot robot-assisted frameless stereotactic biopsy.

British journal of neurosurgery
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.

Technologic Evolution of Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery: A Historical Perspective.

World neurosurgery
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...

Accuracy of robotic coil positioning during transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Journal of neural engineering
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...
