Abstract in brief

  • Subretinal injection protocols for restoring sight are challenging for surgeons due to precision required and risks of retinal damage.
  • Robotic assistance can enhance the accuracy of these procedures, but patient head motion complicates the process and has not been adequately studied before.
  • A new study found that using a teleoperated surgical robot mounted to a patient's head significantly increases success rates of subretinal injections in moving eyes compared to traditional manual techniques.
