Feasibility of Robot-Guided Laser Osteotomy for Anterior Clinoidectomy and Optic Canal Delineation in a Preclinical Cadaveric Study: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

This preclinical study demonstrates the feasibility of robot-guided Er:YAG laser removal of osseous tissue at the skull base after preoperative computer-assisted planning. This technique may provide significant advantages in skull base surgery with a high degree of cutting precision. Further research is needed to refine preoperative planning, workflow, and safety aspects.
