  5. Computer-assisted surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-assisted_surgery

    Telemanipulators have been used for the first time in neurosurgery, in the 1980s. This allowed a greater development in brain microsurgery (compensating surgeon’s physiological tremor by 10-fold), increased accuracy and precision of the intervention. It also opened a new gate to minimally invasive brain surgery, furthermore reducing the risk ...
