Psychosurgery

114
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Robotics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Patient perception is crucial for the adoption of robotic assistance in spinal procedures.
  • Public understanding and perception of robot-assisted spine surgery remain largely unexplored.
  • This study addresses the gap in knowledge regarding public views on robotic spinal operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the general public's perceptions of robot-assisted spine surgery.
  • To understand public expectations and concerns related to robotic spinal procedures.
  • To evaluate the impact of live demonstrations on public acceptance of surgical robots.

Main Methods:

  • A 15-item questionnaire was administered to public attendees at a live demonstration of the Globus ExcelsiusGPS™ spine robot.
  • Participants' demographics, prior knowledge, mental representations, expectations, and emotions were assessed.
  • Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests, including chi-square, Wilcoxon, McNemar, and logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • 81.9% of participants felt reassured by the robot after the demonstration, an increase from 61.3% before (p = 0.007).
  • Preference for robot-assisted surgery rose significantly from 50.5% to 64.5% (p < 0.001).
  • Individuals with back issues reported greater confidence in robotic capabilities (p = 0.032).

Conclusions:

  • The public generally views robot-assisted spine surgery favorably, perceiving it as precise and efficient.
  • Live demonstrations are effective in building public trust and acceptance of robotic surgical systems.
  • Positive public perception may influence patient choice, impacting hospital economics, though alternative methods like computer-assisted navigation are also noted.
