Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Technology
  • Medical Device Innovation

Background:

  • Otological drills are essential for bone-milling in ear surgery.
  • Drill bit slippage on bone surfaces poses a significant risk, compromising operational safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an intelligent method for detecting drill slippage during otological bone-milling.
  • To enhance the safety and reliability of ear surgery procedures involving drills.

Main Methods:

  • A modified otological drill equipped with a two-axis force sensor was utilized.
  • Reaction forces from bone-to-drill bit contact were analyzed to deduce milling parameters.
  • An adaptive filter was employed to extract and identify slippage force variations.

Main Results:

  • The developed system achieved an average drill slippage recognition rate of 86% among five participating surgeons.
  • The method demonstrated a low false positive rate, with only 1% of normal milling operations incorrectly identified as faults.

Conclusions:

  • The intelligent drill slippage identification system significantly improves operational safety in otological bone-milling.
  • This technology offers a reliable solution for real-time detection of drill bit slippage, crucial for preventing surgical complications.
