Interview with Dr. Emily Chen, Chief Neurosurgeon at Annan Hospital and Lead Consultant for the NaoTrac System
By Archyde News Editor
Archyde: Dr. Chen, thank you for joining us today. brain Navi Biotechnology’s NaoTrac system has recently completed its 100th triumphant neurosurgical procedure. As a lead consultant for this groundbreaking technology, can you tell us how NaoTrac is transforming the field of neurosurgery?
Dr. Chen: Thank you for having me. NaoTrac is truly a game-changer. It’s an autonomous neurosurgical navigation robot that combines precision, efficiency, and accessibility like never before. What sets it apart is its ability to map a patient’s skull anatomy with remarkable accuracy using its SMART (Surface Mapping Auto-Registration Technology) platform. This eliminates the need for customary C-arm or O-arm imaging, which not only reduces radiation exposure but also streamlines the surgical process.
Archyde: That sounds revolutionary. How does NaoTrac enhance the experience for both surgeons and patients?
Dr. Chen: For surgeons, NaoTrac provides unparalleled precision. It allows us to plan and execute procedures with a level of detail that was previously unimaginable. The system’s autonomous capabilities reduce human error,which is critical in delicate neurosurgical operations. For patients,this translates to safer,faster,and more effective treatments.the reduced reliance on traditional imaging also means shorter preparation times and less discomfort.
archyde: The 100th procedure milestone was celebrated at Annan Hospital in Tainan, taiwan. Can you share your experience working with NaoTrac in a real-world clinical setting?
Dr. Chen: Absolutely. Annan Hospital has been at the forefront of adopting this technology, and the results have been remarkable. In one recent case, we used NaoTrac to perform a complex brain tumor resection.The system’s ability to map the patient’s anatomy in real-time allowed us to navigate around critical structures with confidence.The procedure was completed in record time, and the patient recovered faster than expected. It’s moments like these that highlight the transformative potential of NaoTrac.
Archyde: What challenges did you face in integrating NaoTrac into your practice, and how were they overcome?
Dr. Chen: Like any new technology, there was a learning curve. Initially, some of our team members were hesitant to rely on an autonomous system. Though, Brain Navi provided extensive training and support, which helped us build trust in the technology. Over time,we’ve seen how NaoTrac complements our skills rather than replacing them. It’s a tool that enhances our capabilities,and now,it’s hard to imagine neurosurgery without it.
Archyde: Looking ahead, what do you see as the future of robotic neurosurgery, and how does NaoTrac fit into that vision?
Dr. Chen: The future is incredibly exciting.Robotic systems like NaoTrac are just the beginning. As AI and machine learning continue to advance, we can expect even greater precision and adaptability in surgical robotics. NaoTrac is paving the way for a new era of precision medicine, where personalized, minimally invasive treatments become the standard. I believe it will inspire further innovation and set a new benchmark for neurosurgical care worldwide.
Archyde: what advice would you give to hospitals and surgeons considering adopting NaoTrac or similar technologies?
Dr. Chen: My advice is to embrace innovation with an open mind. Technologies like NaoTrac are not here to replace surgeons but to empower them. Start with thorough training and gradually integrate the system into your practice. The results will speak for themselves. At Annan Hospital,we’ve seen firsthand how NaoTrac can elevate patient outcomes and redefine what’s possible in neurosurgery.
Archyde: Thank you, Dr.Chen, for sharing your insights. It’s clear that NaoTrac is a transformative force in neurosurgery, and we look forward to seeing its continued impact.
Dr. Chen: Thank you. It’s an honour to be part of this journey, and I’m excited to see where the future takes us.
