Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an automated laser-guiding system for stereotactic brain surgery.
  • To improve the accuracy and integration of microsurgery laser resection equipment.
  • To enhance surgical precision by incorporating computer-aided planning and navigation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computer-controlled laser-guiding system.
  • Integration of the system with existing microsurgery laser resection equipment.
  • Utilizing a three-dimensional surgical orientation reference system.
  • Incorporating computer-preplanned tumor contours for guidance.

Main Results:

  • The developed instrument automates and accurately guides microsurgery laser resection.
  • The system significantly improves surgical accuracy compared to traditional methods.
  • Enhanced integration of laser equipment within the surgical workflow.
  • Reliable guidance based on 3D orientation and pre-planned contours.

Conclusions:

  • The computer-controlled laser-guiding system represents a significant advancement in stereotactic brain surgery.
  • Automation and computer-aided planning enhance precision in microsurgical tumor resection.
  • This technology offers improved accuracy by reducing reliance on manual hand-eye coordination.
