During endoscopic sinus surgery, to perform complex surgical procedures in the delicate nasal cavity, endoscope holding devices are needed. This paper presents a novel robotic system with safe locking and easy to release system that assists surgeons in holding the endoscope. The presented robotic system has eleven degrees of freedom (DOF). The robot consists of an elevator mechanism, a positioning...
Spinal orthopedic surgery is one of the typical high-risk surgeries. During the surgery, bone screws need to be inserted into the narrower vertebral pedicles and any failures in the screw-path-drilling process will directly hurt the important nerves and vessels of the patient. In this paper, a robotic spinal surgical system (RSSS) for assisting pedicle screw insertion surgery is proposed. The novel...
Bone milling is one of the most common operations in various kinds of orthopedical surgeries, such as laminectomy surgery. For safety issue and efficacy, it is very important to recognize the states in milling operation. In this paper, an approach to recognize the states of bone milling is proposed, which identify the cortical tissue layer and cancellous tissue layer. Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT)...
In pedicle screw insertion surgeries, the drilling process of the screw path is very critical to decide the success of the surgery, as the hole is drilled on a very narrow area on the vertebral pedicle. In current manual surgeries, surgeons perform operation with monitoring the medical images in navigation system and sensing operation force. To simulate these abilities, in this paper, a bone-drilling...
A Pedicle Screws Surgical Robot (PSSR) can reduce the risk of spinal surgery and improve surgical precision, which plays an important role in promoting the medical care level of spinal surgery. A new type of PSSR is proposed in this paper, and the mechanical structure and its working principle are also introduced. The kinematics model of the robot is derived from D-H notation in order to obtain the...
