Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Robotics
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Human physiologic performance may limit current ophthalmic surgical capabilities.
  • Robotic systems offer potential solutions to overcome these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on robotic assistance in ophthalmic surgery.
  • To focus specifically on the application of robotics in vitreoretinal procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science databases.
  • Search terms included "robotic eye surgery," "ophthalmology," and "vitreoretinal."

Main Results:

  • Proof-of-concept studies demonstrate the feasibility of robotic assistance for delicate anterior segment and vitreoretinal surgeries.
  • Various robotic platforms have been developed and tested in preclinical models, measuring surgical forces and movements.
  • Advanced "smart" instruments are being designed to enhance specific surgical tasks like membrane peeling and vessel cannulation.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic assistance has the potential to enhance surgical performance in ophthalmology, especially for vitreoretinal procedures.
  • Overcoming biologic limitations through robotic technology could lead to improved surgical outcomes.
  • Clinical trials are essential to establish the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted ophthalmic surgery in human patients.
