Robotic placement of a CNS ventricular reservoir for administration of chemotherapy
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 09/24/09

Lollis SS et al. – Robotic placement of a reservoir ventriculostomy using a pre–planned trajectory is safe, highly accurate, and highly reliable. This makes single–pass ventriculostomy possible in nearly all patients, even those with very small ventricles, and may permit catheter–based therapies in patients who would otherwise be deemed poor surgical candidates by virtue of ventricular size. It also permits careful pre–operative study and optimization of the catheter trajectory, which may be beneficial in minimizing risk to bridging veins and sulcal vessels.
