Koh Young to Showcase Next Gen Navigation Neurosurgical Robot at CNS Innovation Symposium Koh Young Technology announced it will present its FDA-cleared navigated neurosurgical positioning robot, Geniant®? Cranial at the upcoming Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) "Special Symposium: Transforming Neurosurgery through Technology," taking place on October 12, 2025. The special symposium showcases cutting-edge neurosurgical technology innovations across the complete development spectrum, featuring four distinct sections: pre-submission medical devices in early development, medical devices currently under FDA evaluation, FDA-cleared medical devices focused on clinical adoption and market integration, and established medical devices with continued innovation. Koh Young will present in the FDA-cleared medical devices section, highlighting how Geniant Cranial--ready for immediate hospital adoption--can help advance surgical outcomes and operational efficiency in stereotactic neurosurgical procedures. Geniant Cranial received FDA clearance in January 2025. The stereotactic robotic guidance system is an upgraded version of its predecessor KYMERO, which received South Korean regulatory approval in 2016 and has been used in over 600 neurosurgical procedures--including epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, brain tumors, and other complex neurosurgical conditions. KYMERO was launched and marketed exclusively in South Korea. Geniant Cranial builds on KYMERO's proven core technology for clinical accuracy and safety, with added capabilities including enhanced user experience, improved ease of operation, expanded patient positioning flexibility, and greater accuracy compared to its predecessor, according to a Koh Young representative.
