First brain surgery completely done with robotics

The first ever brain surgery to completely use robotics was conducted at Ankara University's Medical Faculty Brains and Nerve Surgery Department. Dr. Ümit Eroğlu conducted the operation on the female patient, 50, using only the Da Vinci robot to remove a skull base tumor starting from the mouth.He said that a big tumor on a bone of the patient, who was discharged from the hospital in April, bonding the skull and backbone was discovered and it caused erosion on bone and the skull base. The surgeon said that there are varying attitudes about robotic surgery in the world. But, he added, there is no other example of this operation, which was carried out completely with robotics surgery. Dr. Eroğlu explained that the area where the tumor was located was deep, narrow and hard to reach and the success of an operation like that with today's methods is low.
