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.
