[Expert consensus on neurosurgical robot-assisted deep brain stimulation surgery (2026 edition)]
Abstract:
Robot-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgical systems in neurosurgery have demonstrated significant advantages in enhancing operative precision, reducing complications, and improving clinical outcomes. With advancements in robot-assisted surgical systems and surgical techniques, coupled with their wider adoption in DBS procedures, there is a growing need to further standardize and improve surgical workflows, technical details,etc. This consensus focuses on neurosurgery robot-assisted DBS surgery. Through proposing recommendation questions, summarizing and evaluating evidence, formulating recommendations, expert discussions and clinical practice, eight recommendations were developed covering aspects such as indications, preoperative preparation, surgical planning, registration, anesthesia, key operative steps, and postoperative assessment. The aim is to enhance surgical precision and safety, improve patient prognosis, comprehensively present the latest research progress in robot-assisted DBS surgery, and the collective expertise and opinions of experts in the field, thereby providing guidance for the clinical practice of DBS surgery.
