The iHandU system is a wearable device that quantitatively evaluates changes in wrist rigidity during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, allowing clinicians to find optimal stimulation settings that reduce patient symptoms. Robotic accuracy is als...
OBJECTIVE: Conventional frame-based stereotaxy through a transfrontal approach (TFA) is the gold standard in brainstem biopsies. Because of the high surgical morbidity and limited impact on therapy, brainstem biopsies are controversial. The introduct...
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...
BACKGROUND: The pursuit of improved accuracy for localization and electrode implantation in deep brain stimulation (DBS) and stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) has fostered an abundance of disparate surgical/stereotactic practices. Specific practice...
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.

BACKGROUND: Stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) using depth electrodes has become a mainstay of pediatric epilepsy surgery. This technique relies on rigid cranial fixation using skull pins, which forms the basis for accurate stereotactic navigation. ...
OBJECTIVE: Despite numerous imaging studies highlighting the importance of the thalamus in a patient's surgical prognosis, human electrophysiological studies involving the limbic thalamic nuclei are limited. The objective of this study was to evaluat...
