Robot-assisted air navigation system surgery for Parkinson's disease

Stereotactic robot-assisted 3D neuronavigation is a new method in neurosurgery. Due to its lower invasiveness and the use of intraoperative 3D navigation, the method allows performing procedures without the use of a stereotactic frame, which improves patient comfort and speeds up their recovery. As noted by neurosurgeon of the Department of Vascular and Functional Neurosurgery Chingiz Nurimanov, the robotic system also minimizes the risk of errors associated with the human factor, such as hand tremors or incorrect assessment of the angle of insertion of instruments. "This device can be used both for thalamotomy in patients with tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease, and for implantation of electrodes, biopsy, navigation of trigeminal neuralgia, and spinal neurosurgical interventions. Such a robotic system is the future of neurosurgery if artificial intelligence is implanted in the system and, of course, if all this is controlled by a person. In this case, the likelihood of errors during surgery can be completely eliminated." - shared neurosurgeon Chingiz Nurimanov.
At the moment, this method is only being implemented in our country and all relevant legislative procedures are being prepared for its further implementation and use.
This operation was performed on a patient with Parkinson's disease, tremor form stage 2, the duration of the disease is more than 10 years. After the operation, the patient's tremor completely disappeared, the patient with improvement in a satisfactory condition is discharged for outpatient treatment.
