Robotics in revolutionizing neurosurgery

Minahil Iman Janjua et al. Neurosurg Rev. .

Abstract

Robot-assisted neurosurgery has revolutionized intricate brain and spinal procedures. From PUMA 560 to NeuroArm and ROSA, robotic systems have enhanced precision and enabled minimally invasive techniques. Despite challenges in LMICs, collaborative efforts in infrastructure, education, and international partnerships can foster equitable adoption of these transformative technologies.
