Robots drill into the brain to treat Parkinson

The robot enters the brain of Parkinson's patient, puts a chip on the lesion, and then the chip starts. Once the patient is ill, the chip responds quickly to the discharge stimulation, and the rigid hand of Parkinson's patient finally moves... This is not a science fiction novel, but an operation performed by a self-developed robot in China. On October 18, the Department of Neurosurgery at the Shenyang Military Region General Hospital used this technique to treat four Parkinson's patients a day.

Electrical stimulation: precise positioning of brain nuclei

The stiffness is difficult to move, the eyes are not god, the mouth is open but can't speak... Lily, forty years old, is a Parkinson patient. Tao Yingqun, director of the Department of Neurosurgery Brain Function, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region, said that patients like Lili can no longer use drugs to control symptoms, and should do deep brain stimulation.

Tao Yingqun introduced that this is a high-tech means for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system. Doctors use stereotactic technology to accurately position the electrodes into specific nerve nuclei in the brain of patients, and improve them by electric pulse stimulation of the nerve nuclei. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease. According to Tao Yingqun, brain pacemaker surgery is extremely demanding for doctors. Only by accurately inserting the electrodes into the brain area with a diameter of only a few millimeters can a good therapeutic effect be achieved. At present, the self-developed ROSA robots in China can be guided by a stereotactic instrument to accurately locate the target position with an error of less than 1 mm.

New technology: robots drill into the brain chip

On October 18th, at the ROSA Robotic Surgery Forum of the First Shenyang Military Region General Hospital, Tao Yingqun led the team to perform surgery for Lili, and the big screen was also broadcast on the forum.

The reporter saw from the big screen that Tao Yingqun opened a small hole in Lili's head and put a robot with a diameter of only 1.27.1.3 mm into the brain. The robot enters the brain and immediately begins to work, implanting a chip to achieve the purpose of controlling Parkinson's symptoms. The robot has six robotic arms, no dead angles, and is more accurate, faster, and safer than manual implanted chips.

During the operation, Lili disappeared under temporary electrical stimulation and her limbs recovered. When the doctor asked her to improve her condition, she raised her thumb with the left hand that was previously stiff and difficult to move.

The reporter learned that the Shenyang Military Region General Hospital has performed more than 100 operations using the only ROSA robot in the Northeast.
