CIGuide: in situ augmented reality laser guidance.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSEĀ : A robotic intraoperative laser guidance system with hybrid optic-magnetic tracking for skull base surgery is presented. It provides in situ augmented reality guidance for microscopic interventions at the lateral skull base with minimal ment...

Machine learning applied to neuroimaging for diagnosis of adult classic Chiari malformation: role of the basion as a key morphometric indicator.

Journal of neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE The current diagnostic criterion for Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I), based on tonsillar herniation (TH), includes a diversity of patients with amygdalar descent that may be caused by a variety of factors. In contrast, patients presenting...

Robotic Transnasal Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery: Systematic Review of the Literature and Report of a Novel Prototype for a Hybrid System (Brescia Endoscope Assistant Robotic Holder).

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Although robotics has already been applied to several surgical fields, available systems are not designed for endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS). New conception prototypes have been recently described for ESBS. The aim of this study was...

Anatomical features of skull base and oral cavity: a pilot study to determine the accessibility of the sella by transoral robotic-assisted surgery.

Neurosurgical review
The role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the skull base emerges and represents the natural progression toward miniinvasive resections in confined spaces. The accessibility of the sella via TORS has been recently described on fresh human cadave...

Artificial Intelligence, Radiomics, and Computational Modeling in Skull Base Surgery.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
This chapter explores current artificial intelligence (AI), radiomics, and computational modeling applications in skull base surgery. AI advancements are providing opportunities to improve diagnostic accuracy, surgical planning, and postoperative car...

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...

Hybrid Robotics for Endoscopic Transnasal Skull Base Surgery: Single-Centre Case Series.

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
BACKGROUND: Only preclinical studies and case reports have described robotic surgery for endoscopic transnasal skull base surgery.

[Accuracy analysis of robotic assistant needle placement for lateral skull base biopsy].

Zhonghua kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Zhonghua kouqiang yixue zazhi = Chinese journal of stomatology
To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of a custom robot system guided by navigation for lateral skull base tumor biopsy. Two cadaver heads were used, with iopamidol injected into different areas in the skull base and infratemporal region to imit...

Development of a snake-like dexterous manipulator for skull base surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
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...

An experimental feasibility study on robotic endonasal telesurgery.

Neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Novel robots have recently been developed specifically for endonasal surgery. They can deliver several thin, tentacle-like surgical instruments through a single nostril. Among the many potential advantages of such a robotic system is the ...
