Thank you for the post Vicky.
This is a wonderful invention for the surgeons,
and it is a fabulous creation for the Canadian team.
Paige Nickason, 21, is recovering after having a tumour removed from her brain with the assistance of neuroArm, a surgical robotic system developed by a team led by Dr. Garnette Sutherland, a Calgary Health Region neurosurgeon and professor of neurosurgery in the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine.
“I had to have the tumour removed anyway so I was happy to help by being a part of this historical surgery,” says Nickason.
