According to doctors, the stealth auto guide robot calculates the exact position and path to reach the target area in the brain. Neurosurgeons place a very thin wire with very small electrodes on its tip. It provides electrical stimulation to the most delicate tissues.
For deep brain stimulation to work correctly, it must be done in exactly 0.8 to 1.2 millimetres. Using the Stealth Auto guide robot, the Parkinson's group at KIMS Hospitals achieved an accuracy of 0.2 on a recent surgery, which is the best in the country according to Auto guide data. That's about the thickness of a single hair.
If the surgery is done manually, the neurosurgeons will have to calculate the coordinates themselves and tighten the leads in the brain with their own hands. Having an auto-guided robot with artificial intelligence, the robot prepares the coordinates based on the information fed by the surgeons. It completes the whole process with the utmost accuracy by the instructions given.
Abhinay Kumar is now perfectly fine and able to do anything he ever wanted to do following the treatment.
