How i do it: Robot-assisted transcerebellar stereotactic approach for brainstem lesion.

BACKGROUND

Stereotactic approaches to diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) remain essential due to advances in molecular biology and management, necessitating tissue sampling. Here we present an effective technique with a biopsy by robot-assisted transcerebellar approach.

METHOD: Our procedure was performed using the ROSA robotic system and the OARM CT scan, which provided stereotactic conditions for this transcerebellar approach to brainstem lesions.

CONCLUSION

The robot-assisted transcerebellar stereotactic approach remains essential to provide complications for biopsy of brainstem lesions.
