From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Chiari I Malformation: Review and Update of Current Treatment Options
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The pathophysiology of Chiari malformation type I (CM‐I) is complex, involving structural abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction that result in herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. In this study, we aim to present and evaluate current treatment options for CM‐I, with a focus on evidence‐based clinical ...

Transoral Robotic Reconstructive Surgery [PDF]
Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2014 Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has emerged as a technique that allows head and neck surgeons to safely resect large and complex oropharyngeal tumors without dividing the mandible or performing a lip-split incision. These resections provide a reconstructive challenge because the cylinder of the oropharynx remains closed and both physical access and ...

Disparities in Proton Radiation Utilization for HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Cancer Following TORS
Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities in receipt of proton radiation have been reported. Whether disparities exist for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is not well studied. Methods Patients with HPV‐associated OPSCC treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and adjuvant radiation from 2016 to 2023 were
