76% successful: Magnet-powered tiny robotic tools perform scalpel-free brain surgery
SMRTR summary
Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed tiny magnetic robotic tools for minimally invasive brain surgery. The 3mm diameter instruments can grip, pull and cut tissue using external magnetic fields, potentially offering faster recovery and less scarring compared to traditional methods, with a 76% success rate in tests.
