The Technological Advancement For Planning, Navigation And Robotic Assistance For Skull Base Surgery

An image-guided robot system for skull-base surgery facilitates the planning of surgical station and navigation, and determination of the path be taken by the removal tool, which follows the robotic manipulator. This study focuses on the development of an integrated system for robotics, navigation, and planning assistance using an image-guided robot system for skull-base drilling. The mechanism is effective in providing access to neurosurgical interventions; for ex-ample, in the case of tumor resection. The motivation for this study is to identify how surgeons can use robots to maintain and improve safety and prevent accidental damage to critical neurovascular struc-tures that might occur during the drilling process. Data obtained from a systematic and formative review of existing research, as well as evaluation of current experimental studies, will be used to determine the effectiveness and success rate of image-guided robotic surgery.
