The functional corticospinal integrity (CSI) can be indexed by motor‐evoked potentials (MEP) following transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex. Glial brain tumors in motor‐eloquent areas are frequently disturbing CSI resulting in different degrees of motor dysfunction. However, this is unreliably mirrored by MEP characteristics. In 59 consecutive patients with diffuse glial tumors and...
Background
Robot‐assisted stereotaxy (RAS) promises higher stereotactic accuracy (SA) and time efficiency (TE) than frame‐based stereotaxy. However, both aspects are attributed to the problem of patient‐to‐robot registration.
Objective
To examine different registration techniques regarding their SA and TE.
Methods
This study enrolled 57 patients undergoing RAS with bone fiducial registration...
Background
Safety, efficacy and efficiency of neurosurgical robots are defined by their design (i.e., framed and non‐framed) and procedural workflow (PW) (from image to surgery). The present study describes the quality indicators of three different robots in brain and spine surgery.
Methods
This single‐centre study enrolled 252 patients over a 10‐year period. Safety (complication rate) and efficacy...
Background
Beta‐frequency oscillations (13–30 Hz) are a subthalamic hallmark in patients with Parkinson's disease, and there is increased interest in their utility as an intraoperative marker.
Objectives
The objectives of this study were to assess whether beta activity measured directly from macrocontacts of deep brain stimulation leads could be used (a) as an intraoperative electrophysiological...
