2018 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting-549. Clinical Outcomes associated with robot-assisted DBS placement into the STN in patients with Parkinson's disease

549. Clinical Outcomes associated with robot-assisted DBS placement into the STN in patients with Parkinson's disease

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Michelle Paff from UC Irvine discusses the clinical outcomes associated with robot-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) placement in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Dr. Paff explains the technique and workflow of using the ROSA robot for DBS surgery, as well as the accuracy and operative time associated with the procedure. She also compares the use of the ROSA robot to the CRW frame for DBS surgery. Dr. Paff presents results from a study that shows similar clinical outcomes between the ROSA group and the CRW frame group. She concludes that while there are advantages and disadvantages to both systems, the ROSA robot streamlines the procedure but may require a learning curve and additional operating room time. The video does not list any specific credits.
