Robot-assisted stylomastoid foramen puncture and radiofrequency ablation for hemifacial spasm treatment: clinical outcomes and technique assessment
SMF puncture and RFA emerge as a potent and minimally invasive treatment option for HFS. The robot-assisted approach, despite necessitating additional time for head fixation and registration, notably reduces the overall puncture time, puncture attempts, and radiation exposure, thereby enhancing the puncture success rate.
