The safety and efficacy of robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy for brain glioma: earliest institutional experiences and evaluation of literature

In conclusion, considering the preliminary results of our early experiences, robot-assisted tumor biopsy was proven to be a feasible and accurate procedure when surgery for brain glioma was not an option. It may increase safety and precision, without expanding surgical time, being similarly effective when compared to standard stereotactic and manual biopsy. Using this method to provide accurate sampling for histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis is a safe and easy way to determine management strategies and outcome of different types of brain glioma.PMID:34744281 | PMC:PMC8564848 | DOI:10.20471/acc.2021.60.02.17
