Robotic Brain Surgery Technology

ROSA ONE® Brain Robot

 

 

Overview

You are unique, so your treatment should be too. ROSA ONE helps your doctor tailor your surgery to you.

If you are living with intractable epilepsy, certain types of brain cancer, or a movement disorder like Parkinson’s disease, your doctor may recommend a surgery using ROSA ONE. ROSA ONE is used in therapeutic and/or diagnostic brain surgery. This includes procedures such as SEEG, responsive neurostimulation (RNS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and biopsy.

 

 

Is robotic brain surgery right for you?

Only you and your doctor can make this decision. But robotic brain surgery has a few advantages. The surgery is usually minimally invasive, creating only small holes the size of a pencil in the skull. Minimally invasive surgery can lead to shorter operative times1 and less pain2 than open surgery. Also, the robot helps your surgeon place your instruments accurately and efficiently1.

1. Completion of Pre-Operative Tests and Planning

Your doctors will have you complete a series of tests and get an MRI and CT scan. Your surgeon will use these scans to plan your surgery on the ROSA ONE software. This is completed days before surgery.

2. Arrive the Day of Surgery

The day of your surgery, you will be brought to the operating room and, in most cases, put to sleep. The robot and instruments will already be set up for your surgery.

3. Register and Map the Surgical Plan

During surgery, your surgeon will perform a registration process. This helps ROSA ONE map your surgical plan onto your head.

4. Robot Helps Guide Instrument Placement

Next, the robotic arm guides your surgeon to where they will place your instruments into the brain. The robotic arm helps your surgeon do this accurately and efficiently1.

Zimmer Biomet Robotic Brain Surgery

ROSA ONE is the most widely used brain surgery robot in the world3. With this trusted technology and robotic accuracy1, you can have the peace of mind knowing that your instrument will be placed in the right spot.

ROSA ONE acts as a guide for surgeons, helping them create an individual surgical plan for each patient.  Your surgeon stays in control of the entire procedure, while using the accuracy1 of a robotic arm. Plus, surgeries done using ROSA ONE are often minimally invasive, which can mean less pain and discomfort2 compared to open surgery.

ROSA ONE Brain FAQs

SEEG is a diagnostic surgery that locates where epilepsy starts in the brain. SEEG can be used for patients with intractable epilepsy. This is a condition where seizures are not stopped by anti-seizure medicines. 

Using ROSA One, thin electrodes are placed through small holes in the skull. The electrodes stay in place for several days and can detect when a seizure happens. The data from the electrodes helps your doctor determine which epilepsy treatment could be right for you. This means you will likely have a second surgery after your SEEG to treat your epilepsy.

SEEG is an alternative for placement of subdural grid electrodes. Subdural grid electrodes are not minimally invasive, and a piece of the skull has to be temporarily removed to place them on the brain. SEEG is minimally invasive, and only creates small holes in the skull the size of a pencil.

 

 

 

DIAGNOSIS

What is Drug Resistant Epilepsy?

If you’ve tried 2 or more seizure medications, but are unable to become, and remain, seizure-free, you may hear the phrase drug resistant epilepsy. Here’s a look at what that means.
