Accuracy of robot-assisted versus optical frameless navigated stereoelectroencephalography electrode placement in children.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of optical frameless neuronavigation (ON) and robot-assisted (RA) stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode placement in children, and to identify factors that might increase the risk of...

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas in children: Interest of robotic frameless assisted biopsy. A technical note.

Neuro-Chirurgie
INTRODUCTION: Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) constitute 10-15% of all brain tumors in the pediatric population; currently prognosis remains poor, with an overall survival of 7-14 months. Recently the indication of DIPG biopsy has been enlar...

Blurring the boundaries between frame-based and frameless stereotaxy: feasibility study for brain biopsies performed with the use of a head-mounted robot.

Journal of neurosurgery
OBJECT: Frame-based stereotactic interventions are considered the gold standard for brain biopsies, but they have limitations with regard to flexibility and patient comfort because of the bulky head ring attached to the patient. Frameless image guida...

Fully automatic anatomical landmark localization and trajectory planning for navigated external ventricular drain placement.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a fully automatic anatomical landmark localization and trajectory planning method for external ventricular drain (EVD) placement using CT or MRI.

Self-Supervised Feature Detection and 3D Reconstruction for Real-Time Neuroendoscopic Guidance.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Transventricular approach to deep-brain targets offers direct visualization but also imparts deformation that challenges accurate neuronavigation. 3D reconstruction and registration of the endoscopic view could provide up-to-date, real-tim...

A Spatial Registration Method Based on Point Cloud and Deep Learning for Augmented Reality Neurosurgical Navigation.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In order to achieve spatial registration for surgical navigation, a spatial registration method based on point cloud and deep learning is proposed.

Clinical application of the RONNA G4 system - preliminary validation of 23 robotic frameless brain biopsies.

Croatian medical journal
AIMS: To report the outcomes of robot-assisted brain biopsies performed using a novel RONNA G4 system. The system was developed by a research group from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture and a team of neurosurgeons from Dub...

Incorporating New Technologies to Overcome the Limitations of Endoscopic Spine Surgery: Navigation, Robotics, and Visualization.

World neurosurgery
Recently, spine surgery has gradually evolved from conventional open surgery to minimally invasive surgery, and endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has become an important procedure in minimally invasive spine surgery. With improvements in the optics, spi...

Frameless Stereotactic Brain Biopsies: Comparison of Minimally Invasive Robot-Guided and Manual Arm-Based Technique.

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
BACKGROUND: Most brain biopsies are still performed with the aid of a navigation-guided mechanical arm. Due to the manual trajectory alignment without rigid skull contact, frameless aiming devices are prone to considerably lower accuracy.

Robot-assisted procedures in pediatric neurosurgery.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE During the last 3 decades, robotic technology has rapidly spread across several surgical fields due to the continuous evolution of its versatility, stability, dexterity, and haptic properties. Neurosurgery pioneered the development of robot...
