Abstract

Neurosurgery has always been in need of adapting new technologies. Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery (EETS), a common minimally invasive neurosurgical technique, is especially in the need of innovation. This approach is performed via an anterior sphenoidotomy and aims at the removal of sellar and parasellar lesions with the use of an endoscope and rigid instruments [1]. Although a promising alternative to open brain-surgery, it comes with its limitations, namely the lack of instrument articulation and the constrained operative space of the nasal channel [2]. This work presents a novel handheld robotic instrument for endoscopic neurosurgery. The system is comprised of a series of articulated spherical-joint tendondriven 3𝑚𝑚 end-effectors, paired with an ergonomically designed handheld controller which does not require the shaft to be resting against a trocar-port. This first-of-itskind robotic instrument for neurosurgery was evaluated during a cadaver pilot study with preliminary results suggesting feasibility within a clinical context.
一种用于内窥镜神经外科的新型手持式机器人系统:尸体试验研究
神经外科一直需要适应新技术。内镜下鼻内经蝶窦手术(EETS)是一种常见的微创神经外科技术,尤其需要创新。该入路通过前蝶窦切开术进行,目的是利用内窥镜和刚性器械[1]切除鞍区和鞍旁病变。虽然这是一种很有前途的颅脑开颅手术替代方案,但它也有其局限性,即缺乏器械关节和鼻通道的手术空间受限。这项工作提出了一种用于内窥镜神经外科的新型手持式机器人仪器。该系统由一系列铰接球体关节肌腱驱动的3𝑚𝑚末端执行器组成,配合符合人体工程学设计的手持控制器,该控制器不需要轴靠在套管针端口上。这种首个神经外科机器人仪器在尸体试验研究中进行了评估,初步结果表明在临床环境中是可行的。
