Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Deep brain stimulation targeting the dentate nucleus is used for post-stroke hemiparesis.
  • Conventional stereotactic frames have limitations for posterior fossa surgery.
  • A novel custom-built stereotactic platform is proposed as an alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and accuracy of a custom-built stereotactic platform for posterior fossa targeting.
  • To evaluate the performance of 3D-printed platforms in simulated neurosurgical procedures.
  • To compare the custom platform's accuracy against conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized three anthropomorphic phantom models with marked posterior fossa targets.
  • Designed unique 4-legged microplatforms based on individual skull anatomy and surgical plans.
  • Simulated posterior fossa stereotactic cannulation in a neurosurgical operating room setting.
  • Evaluated accuracy by measuring deviation of cannula placement from planned target and entry points.

Main Results:

  • Mean target deviation from the planned trajectory was 0.93 mm.
  • Mean entry point deviation was 0.9 mm.
  • Mean trajectory angulation errors were minimal (0.73° sagittal, 0.04° coronal).

Conclusions:

  • Custom-made, 3D-printed stereotactic platforms appear feasible and accurate for in vitro posterior fossa surgery.
  • These platforms offer a promising alternative for neurosurgical procedures with limited surgical access.
  • Further in vivo studies are required to validate clinical practicality and accuracy in living subjects.
