Minimally Invasive Parafascicular Surgery
Brain tumors, clots, and other conditions that necessitate brain surgery demand a detailed and precise approach. This is especially true for pathologies located deep within the brain. Traditionally, such cases have posed significant challenges for neurosurgeons, with many deemed inoperable due to their complex locations, leaving patients with limited options. However, Intent Medical Group has pioneered a procedure that addresses these cases more safely: Minimally Invasive Parafascicular Surgery (MIPS).
What is MIPS?
Minimally Invasive Parafascicular Surgery (MIPS) is an innovative technique that enables neurosurgeons to access deep-seated brain tumors and clots through the natural folds of the brain. This technique helps preserve healthy brain tissue and delicate fibers with the goal of allowing vital brain functions to continue operating normally and reducing the risks associated with traditional brain surgeries.
How is MIPS performed?
The innovative MIPS procedure leverages groundbreaking technological advancements, including brain mapping and exoscopic robotic visualization. Brain mapping is a machine-learning system that allows neuroscientists to create a 3D model of the patient’s brain. This personalized brain map is crucial for planning the surgery with precision.
Exoscopic robotic visualization involves a robot arm with advanced optics (exoscope) guided by the surgical plan based on the brain map. This system provides neurosurgeons with high-definition, magnified views of the surgical area, helping to enable meticulous navigation and execution. Combined with conscious surgery techniques, these innovations allow surgeons to reach previously inaccessible areas of the brain while preserving critical functions.
Diagnoses suitable for MIPS
Patients with deep-seated brain tumors or blood clots are potential candidates for MIPS. This technique offers hope for individuals with conditions that were once considered inoperable due to their location within the brain.
Safety and Effectiveness of MIPS
Studies have demonstrated that MIPS is a safe and effective treatment for specific deep-seated brain issues. As a less invasive procedure compared to traditional brain surgeries, MIPS reduces operating time, minimizes potential complications, and lowers the risk of further brain injury during the operation. Additionally, patients benefit from shorter recovery times, enabling them to return to their daily lives more quickly.
