摘要

The growth of robotics in neurosurgery has made its greatest impact in functional and spine surgery. The introduction of robotic assistance in the fields of interventional cardiology and vascular surgery has paved the way for neurovascular robotics. Robotic assistance holds the promise of increased navigation and device precision, lower radiation exposure for the patient and primary interventionalist, and future remote capabilities that will increase health service access to patients around the country. In this chapter, we discuss the foundational work of the neurovascular robot, its practical workflow and advantages, its future potential, and present limitations.
