Ashwini Sharan, MD, professor and director of the Sidney Kimmel Medical College Department of Neurological Surgery and his colleague Dr Chengyuan Wu, consulting neurosurgeon have performed the first case using the neuromate robotic system for a Stereo-EEG implantation case in Epilepsy.
Dr Sharan said, “The newly acquired neuromate system will provide me and my team with a platform for a broad range of stereotactic neurosurgical procedures. We are pleased to have a neuromate at our center, as we believe that this is only the beginning of an exciting future for robotics in the neurosurgery operating room.”
Dr Abed Hammoud, CEO of Renishaw Mayfield SA said, “This installation confirms the trust of a leading US neurosurgical center in the neuromate system and in Renishaw. Our clinical and technical support teams will work closely with the neurosurgery team at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, to ensure the seamless integration of the neuromate into their surgical workflow, thus aiding them to provide optimal outcomes for their patients.”
The neuromate stereotactic robot provides a platform for a broad range of functional neurosurgical procedures. neuromate has been in used in thousands of procedures. Surgeons around the world rely on:
- neuromate for electrode implantation procedures for deep brain stimulation (DBS)
- neuromate for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)
- neuromate for stereotactic applications in neuro-endscopy and biopsy
- neuromate for research applications
