Advancing neurosurgery with image-guided robotics

摘要: Robotic systems are being introduced into surgery to extend human ability. NeuroArm represents a potential change in the way is performed; this first image-guided, MR-compatible surgical robot capable of both microsurgery and stereotaxy. This paper presents application neuroArm an investigation microsurgical performance, navigation accuracy, Phase I clinical studies. To evaluate 2 surgeons performed (splenectomy, bilateral nephrectomy, thymectomy) rodent model using conventional techniques. Two senior residents served as controls, technique only (8 rats were used each 3 treatment groups; treated 4 from group). Total time, blood loss, thermal injury, vascular animal death due error recorded converted overall performance score. All values reported mean ± SEM when normally distribut...
