Robot Surgeon

Vicky2Member

A Calgary surgical team made history this year by using a robot to remove a brain tumour.Doctors controlled the "neuroArm", the world's first MRI - compatible surgical robot capable of both microsurgery and image-guided biopsy-from a computer workstation.

Doctors performed the microsurgery by moving the neuroArm and manipulating surgical tool attachments by remote control-and with the help of images delivered via the system's MRI scanner.

The neuroArm was created by Dr. Garnette Sutherland-a Calgary Health Region neurosurgeon and professor at the University of Calgary-and his team.

The system has the potential to revolutionize all surgery by freeing doctors from the constraints of the human hand.
