Study Summary
This study is designed to measure forces applied using standard surgical instruments at the skull base during resection of skull base lesions. This data will be useful for optimizing an active canula robot for assisting in skull base surgery. We hypothesize that through measurement of forces generated during routine endoscopic skull base surgery we will be able to optimize the canulas of an active canula robot for skull base surgery.
Interventions
- DEVICE Use of force sensing surgical curette
- PROCEDURE Removal of pituitary tumor using modified curette
