How i do it: Robot-assisted transcerebellar stereotactic approach for brainstem lesion.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Stereotactic approaches to diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) remain essential due to advances in molecular biology and management, necessitating tissue sampling. Here we present an effective technique with a biopsy by robot-assisted transcerebellar approach. METHOD: Our procedure was performed using the ROSA robotic system and the OARM CT scan, which provided stereotactic conditions for this transcerebellar approach to brainstem lesions. CONCLUSION: The robot-assisted transcerebellar stereotactic approach remains essential to provide complications for biopsy of brainstem lesions.
