Stephanie’s epilepsy surgery using robot technology at Memorial Neuroscience Institute
The epilepsy team with Memorial Neuroscience Institute successfully completed its first use of a minimally invasive robotic device that helps pinpoint the origin of epileptic seizures on a patient.
The device, now in full use at Memorial Regional Hospital, is called a Robotized Surgical Assistant, or ROSA. With assistance from the robot, neurosurgeons only need to make small, precise incisions in the scalp and skull to place electrodes deep in the brain and investigate where seizures are triggered.
