CT-to-fluoroscopy registration versus scan-and-plan registration for robot-assisted insertion of lumbar pedicle screws.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Pedicle screw insertion for stabilization after lumbar fusion surgery is commonly performed by spine surgeons. With the advent of navigation technology, the accuracy of pedicle screw insertion has increased. Robotic guidance has revolution...

Does robot-assisted navigation influence pedicle screw selection and accuracy in minimally invasive spine surgery?

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement has increased with the advent of robotic and surgical navigation technologies. However, the effect of robotic intraoperative screw size and trajectory templating remains unclear. The pur...

Learning curves in robot-assisted spine surgery: a systematic review and proposal of application to residency curricula.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Spine robots have seen increased utilization over the past half decade with the introduction of multiple new systems. Market research expects this expansion to continue over the next half decade at an annual rate of 20%. However, because o...

Transcarotid access for remote robotic endovascular neurointerventions: a cadaveric proof-of-concept study.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to demonstrate the setup and feasibility of transcarotid access for remote robotic neurointerventions in a cadaveric model.

Robot-assisted carotid artery stenting: outcomes, safety, and operational learning curve.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Over the past 2 decades, robots have been increasingly used in surgeries to help overcome human limitations and perform precise and accurate tasks. Endovascular robots were pioneered in interventional cardiology, however, the CorPath GRX w...

Robot-assisted frontofacial correction in very young children with craniofacial dysostosis syndromes: a technical note and early functional outcome.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: In this study, the authors aimed to 1) retrospectively analyze the early functional outcomes in a cohort of very young children with craniofacial dysostoses who underwent robot-assisted frontofacial advancement (RAFFA) or robot-assisted mi...

Robotic and robot-assisted skull base neurosurgery: systematic review of current applications and future directions.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The utility of robotic instrumentation is expanding in neurosurgery. Despite this, successful examples of robotic implementation for endoscopic endonasal or skull base neurosurgery remain limited. Therefore, the authors performed a systema...

A novel 3D-vision-based collaborative robot as a scope holding system for port surgery: a technical feasibility study.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: A clear, stable, suitably located vision field is essential for port surgery. A scope is usually held by hand or a fixing device. The former yields fatigue and requires lengthy training, while the latter increases inconvenience because of ...
