    摘要: Described herein are systems and methods for use in preparing holes in bones. In certain embodiments, the trajectory followed in preparing a hole in a bone is optimized by adjusting characteristics of rotation of a drill bit (e.g., an anti-skiving drill bit). In certain embodiments, a change in material is determined once a hard outer layer of a bone has been drilled. Subsequently, characteristics of rotation of a drill bit are altered to allow natural features of a patient's anatomy to guide the drill bit. In this way, certain hard walls of certain bones can act to redirect a drill bit. The change in material may be determined, and/or characteristics of rotation altered, by a surgeon or a robotic surgical system (e.g., automatically). In certain embodiments, a robotic surgical system notifies a surgeon of a change in material to prompt the surgeon to alter the characteristics of rotation.

    摘要: In certain embodiments, the systems, apparatus, and methods disclosed herein relate to robotic surgical systems with built-in navigation capability for patient position tracking and surgical instrument guidance during a surgical procedure, without the need for a separate navigation system. Robotic based navigation of surgical instruments during surgical procedures allows for easy registration and operative volume identification and tracking. The systems, apparatus, and methods herein allow re-registration, model updates, and operative volumes to be performed intra-operatively with minimal disruption to the surgical workflow. In certain embodiments, navigational assistance can be provided to a surgeon by displaying a surgical instrument's position relative to a patient's anatomy. Additionally, by revising pre-operatively defined data such as operative volumes, patient-robot orientation relationships, and anatomical models of the patient, a higher degree of precision and lower risk of complications and serious medical error can be achieved.

    摘要: A robotic surgical system for performing surgery, the system includes a robotic arm having a force and/or torque control sensor coupled to the end-effector and configured to hold a first surgical tool. The robotic system further includes an actuator that includes controlled movement of the robotic arm and/or positioning of the end-effector. The system further includes a tracking detector having optical markers for real time detection of (i) surgical tool position and/or end-effector position and (ii) patient position. The system also includes a feedback system for moving the end effector to a planned trajectory based on the threshold distance between the planned trajectory and the actual trajectory.

    摘要: The disclosed technology relates to robotic surgical systems for improving surgical procedures. In certain embodiments, the disclosed technology relates to robotic surgical systems for use in osteotomy procedures in which bone is cut to shorten, lengthen, or change alignment of a bone structure. The osteotome, an instrument for removing parts of the vertebra, is guided by the surgical instrument guide which is held by the robot. In certain embodiments, the robot moves only in the “locked” plane (one of the two which create the wedge—i.e., the portion of the bone resected during the osteotomy). In certain embodiments, the robot shall prevent the osteotome (or other surgical instrument) from getting too deep/beyond the tip of the wedge. In certain embodiments, the robotic surgical system is integrated with neuromonitoring to prevent damage to the nervous system.

    摘要: Described herein are systems and apparatus of surgical instruments engineered for integration with robotic surgical systems to enhance precision in surgical procedures. Also described herein are methods of using such surgical instruments in performing surgical procedures. The use of such surgical instruments reduce complications arising from misalignment during surgery. The disclosed technology assists in stages of a surgical procedure that require a precise trajectory to be followed. Surgical instrument guides are attached to a universal surgical instrument guide, which is engineered to attach directly or indirectly with a robotic arm of a robotic surgical system. Surgical instruments can then be precisely guided along an axis defined by the universal surgical instrument guide. Individual instruments are easily inserted and removed from the channel of the universal surgical instrument guide, thus allowing a range of instruments to be used throughout a procedure while maintaining the surgical trajectory.
