We have developed new, tiny robotic surgical tools that may let surgeons perform "keyhole surgery" on the brain. Despite their small size, our tools can mimic the full range of motion of a surgeon ...

Psychiatric neurosurgery, originally known as psychosurgery, involves operating on the brain to alter its function. Nastasic ...

A team of researchers at the University of Toronto and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have created a set of tiny ...

Virtual reality technology is making brain surgery safer and helping to explain complicated procedures to patients.

“Because if there is too much pressure in the brain, patients can actually pass away from that,” said Dr. Ben Waldau, Barr’s surgeon at UC Davis and a specialist in neurological surger ...

Most brain surgery requires doctors to remove part of the skull to access hard-to-reach areas or tumors. It's invasive, risky, and it takes a long time for the patient to recover. We have ...

to create a set of tiny robotic tools that could enable ‘keyhole surgery’ in the brain. In a paper published in Science Robotics, the team demonstrated the ability of these tools — only abou ...

Advt By altering the amount of electricity flowing into the coils, we can manipulate the magnetic fields, causing the tools to grip, pull or cut tissue as desired. In open brain surgery, the surgeon ...
