Petrous apex lesions constitute considerable surgical challenges due to their location in the skull base and close relationship with critical structures such as inner ear, carotid arteries, facial nerves and jugular bulb. These lesions often cannot b...
AIM: To determine the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of using a robot for holding and maneuvering the endoscope in transnasal transsphenoidal surgery.
OBJECT: The application accuracy of the Neuromate neurosurgical robot has been validated in vitro but has not been evaluated in vivo for deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode implantations. The authors conducted a study to evaluate this application ...
