Medical Microinstruments, a robotics company dedicated to increasing treatment options and improving clinical outcomes for patients with complex conditions, says it has completed a preclinical study that demonstrated the feasibility of the Symani Surgical System in neurosurgical procedures.
Adnan Siddiqui, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and chief medical officer of the Jacobs Institute and Vice Chair and Professor of Neurosurgery in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, successfully repaired a blood vessel in the brain in an animal model using the Symani Surgical System, the first such robotic-assisted microsurgery demonstration in the brain.
Mark Toland, CEO of MMI, says: “Dr Siddiqui’s breakthrough demonstration showed the benefits of robotic precision and control when operating on brain tissue. [Read more…] about MMI completes ‘world’s first’ robotic pre-clinical study in neurosurgery with Symani robotic surgical system
