In the researchers' words
Endoscopic operations have become increasingly important in the field of neurosurgery over the past decade and require a high degree of precision. Current methods for setting the planned trajectory only offer limited precision due to the manual control, which can lead to complications. The EndoGuide robot is a modular positioning device for controlling endoscopic instruments, which can use radiological data from neuronavigation to align the trajectory in real time with an accuracy of \<0.1mm. The previous model of the robot is currently approved for interventional radiology and positioning of electrodes and catheters in the field of neurosurgery and is now to be tested in endoscopic neurosurgery. The investigators therefore expect not only an increase in the accuracy of endoscopic interventions, but also a reduction in morbidity.
