U of U Health Develops Automated Drill for Brain Surgeries

Thanks to some groundbreaking research by a team at the University of Utah Health (U of U Health), a computer-driven, automated drill, like the kinds used to machine auto parts, could be used in future brain surgeries. The drill developed by the researchers can actually decrease the standard amount of time for one type of complex cranial surgery by 50 times, which gets the patient off the operating table faster and reduces the amount of a time the wound is open. The drill, which makes clean, fast, and safe cuts, can help lower the percentages of human error, chance of infection, and overall surgical cost.
