Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype with high mortality and disability, and there are no proven medical treatments that can improve the functional outcome of ICH patients. Robot-assisted neurosurgery is a significant advancement in the development of minimally invasive surgery for ICH. This review encompasses the latest advances and future directions of surgical robots for ICH. First, three robotic systems for neurosurgery applied to ICH are illustrated. Second, the key technologies of robot-assisted surgery for ICH are introduced in aspects of stereotactic technique and navigation, the puncture instrument, and hematoma evacuation. Finally, the limitations of current surgical robots are summarized, and the possible development direction is discussed, which is named "multisensor fusion and intelligent aspiration control of minimally invasive surgical robot for ICH". It is expected that the new generation of surgical robots for ICH will facilitate quantitative, precise, individualized, standardized treatment strategies for ICH.
