A robot with image guidance helps in achieving precision and faster neurosurgery.
The robotic system was recently launched in KIMS Hospitals’ Department of Neurosurgery. It helps in various brain surgeries, including stereotactic guided brain tumour biopsy, in Parkinson s disease (deep brain stimulation), and surgery for brain tumour to identify important and problematic parts of the brain.
