Micromanipulator system (NeuRobot): clinical application in neurosurgery

The NeuRobot, telecontrolled micromanipulator system, having a rigid neuroendoscope and three robot arms, has been developed for less invasive and telecontrolled neurosurgery. It has a capability of sophisticated surgical procedures through a small window of 10-mm width. In this paper, bipolar coagulator system, sterilization, and experience of clinical application are reported. The NeuRobot will become a promising neurosurgical tool for less invasive neurosurgery.
