Abstract
Purpose:Neurosurgical robots are acknowledged for their advantages in assisting neurosurgeons in enhancing their precision and accuracy. Here, the aim of this study is to report the first use as a robot-assisted Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal (EET) approach, applied to reach sphenoid sinus in a cadaver. The introduction of the seven tenets for the Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal approach will propel the feasibility of neurosurgical techniques and instruments for intrasellar lesions.Methods:Endonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal approach in a cadaver was performed under robot assistance with simple navigation system. This preliminary study reveals the accuracy and precision of the robot to reach a target at sphenoid sinus safely and within the shortest duration .Results:This robotic technology provided the foundation to support neurosurgeons when they are working in narrow and complicated surgical corridors with accuracy and precision.Conclusion:This article reveals the first robot-assisted Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal approach. This demonstrates the feasibility of the evolution and will augment neurosurgeons toward their limits of minimally invasive surgical techniques, manual dexterity, and spatial orientation. These tenets will be as state of the art and overcome the future challenges of Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal approach shortly.
Highlights
Practicing, working in surgery and ergonomics studies demonstrated that muscle fatigue occurs due to the long-time procedures and the position of surgical instruments [5 - 8]
The neurosurgical robots have been invented for clinical practice while some others still have been in the research
Even though robotic surgery is getting more attention in the last decades, there are still a few limitations associated with the procedure
Summary
New and Upcoming Technological Advances in the Medical Field. The field of medical imaging technology is growing fast, and the enormity of changes in the area is hard to fathom. With the advancement of database based data collection and introduction of the modern computer, large data set management during clinical trial just got better. Surgical Robotic Technology for Developing an EETS Robotic System. Development and utilization of robots in medical imaging is another potential area of technologic growth [4]. Use of Robots in the neurosurgery field is not a new concept. They are less commonly used compared to the extent they are used in other medical areas. When a surgeon reaches the human limits of precision of motor function, robotic devices help in stabilizing physiologic tremor and minimize the invasiveness of a surgical procedure
