Abstract
The letter critically evaluates the role of robotic applications in cerebral aneurysm neurointerventions, synthesizing a diverse array of studies to elucidate both the potential benefits and inherent limitations of this emerging technology. The review highlights the advancements in precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes facilitated by robotic platforms, while also acknowledging challenges such as the steep learning curve and the need for further research to establish long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness. By navigating through the complexities of robotic-assisted neurosurgery, the review provides valuable insights into the transformative potential of robotics in optimizing treatment paradigms and improving patient care.
