Article Abstract
Background: Robot-assisted stereotaxy (RAS) promises higher stereotactic accuracy (SA) and time efficiency (TE) than frame-based stereotaxy. However, both aspects are attributed to the problem of patient-to-robot registration.
Objective: To examine different registration techniques regarding their SA and TE.
Methods: This study enrolled 57 patients undergoing RAS with bone fiducial registration (BFR) or laser surface registration (LSR). SA was measured by the entry point error (EPE). Additionally, predictors of SA (registration error [RegE], distance-to-registration plane [DTC]) and TE (imaging, skin-to-skin) were assessed.
Results: The mean SA was 1.0 ± 0.8 mm. BFR increased SA by reducing RegE and DTC. In LSR, EPE depended on DTC (face and forehead) with highest accuracy for DTC ≤100 mm. CT-based LSR exerted a higher SA than MR-based LSR. In BFR, TE was confined by the additional imaging.
Conclusion: Every registration technique counteracts one of the promises of RAS. New solutions are needed to increase the acceptance of RAS in neurosurgery.

Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is the gold standard to investigate the epileptic network in cases of drug-resistant epilepsy. Robot-assisted SEEG is increasingly being used; however, its installation process in the operating room is more difficult than that of the stereotactic frame procedure. New robotic tools and 3D intraoperative imaging ease the setup while achieving the same mechanical precision and a lower complication rate.

Background And Objectives: Despite frequent use, stereotactic head frames require manual coordinate calculations and manual frame settings that are associated with human error. This study examines freestanding robot-assisted navigation (RAN) as a means to reduce the drawbacks of traditional cranial stereotaxy and improve targeting accuracy.
Methods: Seven cadaveric human torsos with heads were tested with 8 anatomic coordinates selected for lead placement mirrored in each hemisphere.

Introduction: Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) of the pons occurs in pediatric patients and carries a dismal prognosis. Biopsy is not necessary for diagnosis but provides information, particularly H3K27M status, with prognostic implications. Additionally, biopsy information may open therapeutic options such as clinical trials that require mutation status.
