The safety, accuracy, and feasibility of robotic assistance in neuro-oncological surgery
These results indicate that a robot-assisted approach for stereotactic biopsies and LITT is associated with a comparable diagnostic yield and safety profile for frameless and frame-based techniques. Its precision, user-friendly interface, and adaptability contribute to its suitability for such procedures. Future research, especially in long-term results and cost-effectiveness, will be crucial in fully understanding the utility and potential of this technology for broader applications in the field.
