Time Efficiency in Stereotactic Robot-Assisted Surgery: An Appraisal of the Surgical Procedure and Surgeon ’s Learning Curve

Conclusion: Introducing stereotactic, robot-assisted surgery in an established clinical setting initially necessitates a prolonged intraoperative preparation time. However, there is a steep learning curve during the first cases, reaching the time level of classic frame-based stereotaxy. Thus, a stereotactic robot can be integrated into daily routine within a decent period of time, thereby expanding the neurosurgeons ’ armamentarium, especially for procedures with multiple trajectories.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg
