A novel neurosurgery system integrates a robot, microscope, and infrared cameras for precise, minimally invasive instrument tracking. This device enhances surgical control and reduces setup time, proving reliable in clinical use.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Robotics
  • Image-Guided Surgery

Background:

  • Need for improved tracking in minimally invasive neurosurgery.
  • Current systems may cause distraction and increase setup time.
  • Importance of precision and stability in pediatric neurosurgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new device for minimally invasive neurosurgery.
  • To combine precision, stability, and self-positioning with optical tracking.
  • To reduce setup time and procedural distraction.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a six-axis industrial robot carrying a surgical microscope.
  • Use of three synchronized infrared cameras for patient registration and instrument tracking.
  • Employment of a six-axis joystick for microscope orientation control.
