The Zeiss MKM System provides reliable image-guided neurosurgery for lesion targeting, improving accuracy over time. Intraoperative updates are needed for precise resection guidance.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Image-Guided Surgery

Background:

  • The Zeiss MKM System is an advanced computerized operating microscope for neurosurgery.
  • This study evaluates its clinical benefits, reliability, accuracy, and limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical advantages, reliability, accuracy, and limitations of the Zeiss MKM System.
  • To assess the system's performance in image-guided neurosurgery procedures.

Main Methods:

  • 78 frameless stereotactic image-guided procedures were performed in 73 patients.
  • Procedures included tumor surgery, cavernoma removal, and functional interventions.
  • Standard imaging protocols (CT/MRI) and skin/bone markers were utilized.

Main Results:

  • The system demonstrated high reliability (97%) and improved accuracy over time (from 4.8mm to 2.2mm).
  • Application accuracy improved significantly, with 95% of cases achieving <2mm accuracy.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) yielded higher accuracy (2.1mm) compared to Computed Tomography (CT) (3.7mm).

Conclusions:

  • The Zeiss MKM System is a dependable alternative for stereotactic lesion targeting.
  • Intraoperative image updates are recommended for enhanced resection guidance.
