Surgeons at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego have a new assistant in the operating room named ROSA. A highly advanced surgical robot assistant, ROSA has a computer “brain” for 3D imaging and a robotic arm that directs surgical instruments with extreme accuracy.
ROSA’s innovative technology can be used in epilepsy surgery and other neurological procedures, ranging from tumor biopsies to deep brain stimulation for movement disorders, without the need for an invasive craniotomy.
