Summary
A new orbital surgical robot system enhances thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy treatment by improving precision in orbital decompression surgery. This robotic system, guided by navigation, offers reliable drilling and sawing for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Robotics
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy often requires orbital decompression surgery.
- Manual surgery is limited by narrow spaces and instrument instability, hindering precise surgical planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an orbital surgical robot system to overcome limitations in manual orbital decompression surgery.
- To enhance precision and accuracy in executing surgical plans for orbital decompression.
Main Methods:
- Designed a surgical robot with position adjustment, remote center of motion, and rapid instrument assembly.
- Developed a surgical navigation system with preoperative planning and intraoperative optical navigation.
- Integrated navigation, optical tracking, and robot control into a decision-making, perception, and execution system.
Main Results:
- Precision measurements confirmed the surgical robot's pose accuracy met design requirements.
- Animal experiments verified the system's precision in osteotomy and bone drilling, meeting clinical standards.
Conclusions:
- The developed orbital surgical robotic system effectively performs drilling and sawing for orbital decompression surgery.
- The system's feasibility and reliability were validated through accuracy measurements and animal studies.
