The Silent Transformation of Stereotactic Brain Biopsies After the Introduction of Robotics. [PDF]

Int J Med Robot
ABSTRACT Background In frame‐based stereotaxy, the design of the frame limits trajectory selection, e.g., to the temporal lobe and posterior fossa. We hypothesise that frame‐less neuronavigation and robotic technology might have expanded these stereotactic corridors. Methods We analysed 376 frame‐based, neuronavigated and robotic brain biopsies.

Motor Evoked Potentials Improve Targeting in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives One of the main challenges posed by the surgical deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure is the successful targeting of the structures of interest and avoidance of side effects, especially in asleep surgery. Here, intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEPs) might serve as tool to identify the pyramidal tract.

Early Globus Pallidus Internus Stimulation in Pediatric Patients With Generalized Primary Dystonia: Long-Term Efficacy and Safety [PDF]

, 2010
Primary generalized dystonia presents mainly at a young age and commonly is severely disabling. The authors report the long-term follow-up (mean, 73 months; range, 50-101 months) of 5 pediatric patients (mean age at surgery 13 years; range, 8-16 years ...

Outcome and toxicity analysis of single dose stereotactic radiosurgery in vestibular schwannoma based on the Koos grading system

Scientific Reports, 2020
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has evolved as widely accepted treatment option for small-sized (Koos I up to II) vestibular schwannoma (VS). For larger tumors (prevalent Koos VI), microsurgery or combined treatment strategies are mostly recommended ...

Stereotactic radiosurgery of benign brain tumors in elderly patients: evaluation of outcome and toxicity

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely accepted as a therapeutic option for meningiomas (M) and vestibular schwannomas (VS). However, data on outcome and toxicity in the elderly population have rarely been reported in detail.

Stereotactic Thermal Ablation of Liver Tumors: 3D Planning, Multiple Needle Approach, and Intraprocedural Image Fusion Are the Key to Success—A Narrative Review

Biology, 2021
Thermal ablation is an emerging, potentially curative approach in treating primary and metastatic liver cancer. Different technologies are available, with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) being the most widely used.
