postheadericon Dual-robot system designed to help with brain surgery

The ROBOCAST Project is developing a robotic system for assisting with keyhole neurosurger...



neurosurgery lock, a small "burr hole" is drilled into the patient's skull and his brain is accessed through this hole. The procedure is less invasive than many other types of brain surgery, and can be used for things such as exploration of endoscopy, biopsies, blood samples and liquid, cryogenic ablation and electrolyte (tissue) and deep brain stimulation. It is used to treat diseases such as tumors, hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain), Parkinson's syndrome, Tourette's and epilepsy. By a neurosurgeon, however, can sometimes be a demanding task - a piece of a fraction of a millimeter can cause permanent brain damage. Robocast is why the European Union (robot and the integration of sensors for computer assisted surgery and therapy) of the project is to develop a robotic system to help. ..
