This study introduces a mechatronic system for ENT surgery, enhancing safety by automatically controlling a navigation-assisted shaver based on pre-planned surgical spaces derived from CT scans.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mechatronics
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Current ENT surgery, particularly paranasal sinus procedures, can benefit from enhanced precision and safety.
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) solutions offer potential but may not fully integrate with surgical tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a mechatronic system for ENT surgery assistance.
  • To develop an automated shaver control system integrated with preoperative surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • A mechatronic system was designed to regulate a navigation-controlled shaver's operation.
  • Preoperative 3D surgical workspaces were planned using patient CT data.
  • Shaver tip position was monitored, automatically interrupting operation if it exited the defined workspace.

Main Results:

  • The planning software was evaluated on 32 patient CT datasets.
  • Shaver registration accuracy averaged 1.08 mm.
  • Preoperative working space implementation showed a mean deviation of 3.1 mm.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates the feasibility of a mechatronic assistance system for ENT surgery.
  • This approach enhances surgeon redundancy and reduces cognitive load compared to isolated CAS.
  • The principle can be applied to other powered surgical tools like scalpels and lasers.
