By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on robotics is the subjec t of a new report. According to news originating from Vienna, Austria, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "We recently introduced a frameless, navigated, r obot-driven laser tool for depth electrode implantation as an alternative to fra me-based procedures. This method has only been used in cadaver and non-recovery studies. This is the first study to test the robot-driven laser tool in an in vi vo recovery animal study." Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Medical Universi ty of Vienna: "A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan was conducted to pla n trajectories in sheep specimens. Burr hole craniotomies were performed using a frameless, navigated, robot-driven laser tool. Depth electrodes were implanted after cut-through detection was confirmed. The electrodes were cut at the skin l evel postoperatively. Postoperative imaging was performed to verify accuracy. Hi stopathological analysis was performed on the bone, dura, and cortex samples. Fo urteen depth electrodes were implanted in two sheep specimens. Anesthetic protoc ols did not show any intraoperative irregularities. One sheep was euthanized on the same day of the procedure while the other sheep remained alive for 1 week wi thout neurological deficits. Postoperative MRI and CT showed no intracerebral bl eeding, infarction, or unintended damage. The average bone thickness was 6.2 mm (range 4.1-8.0 mm). The angulation of the planned trajectories varied from 65.5° to 87.4°. The deviation of the entry point performed by the frameless laser bea m ranged from 0.27 mm to 2.24 mm. The histopathological analysis did not reveal any damage associated with the laser beam."
