Analysis of seed loss and pulmonary seed migration in patients treated with virtual needle guidance and robotic seed delivery.
To determine whether automated seed delivery system and real-time intraoperative (IO) virtual needle guidance reduce seed loss and pulmonary seed migration. ⋯ Our pulmonary seed migration and total seed loss rates are comparable to the ones reported in the literature. Virtual needle guidance and automated seed delivery system are in our hand as accurate as the manual technique.
