I independently developed out of the world s first minimally invasive spine surgery robot

The third military medical University, Shenyang Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences Zhongqingxinqiaoyiyuan and joint research and development, has full independent intellectual property rights of minimally invasive spine surgery robot, 11 July Xinqiao hospital into early-stage clinical trials.

This is the world's first dedicated to the spine and minimally invasive surgical robot system, marked clinical spine surgeon and is about to step into a new era of robots.

Compared with conventional spinal surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery with wounds, postoperative recovery cycle time is short, and other characteristics, can make patients better, higher quality of life, thus becoming the main field of spinal surgery.

But as important human spinal nerve, adjacent to the vessel, the error can be caused mm disastrous consequences, so small incision minimally invasive operations require finer precision technology, action more stable. At the same time, due to the spine of minimally invasive surgery requires repeated through the operation of x-ray CT or operation, easy to navigate so that doctors from radiation damage, interfere with a spine surgeon and promotional use. While minimally invasive spine surgery robot is born, you can navigate through the mechanical precision and alternative doctors in radiation surgery operations, improves operation of precision, but also can reduce operation risks and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, while also reducing the radiation damage to the doctors.

Journalists in the laboratory, the manipulation of the researchers, "robot" less than 1 minute is easily done on a spine model of two positioning, targeting, drilling operations, and twice on the same site of repeat, almost hit.

In 2008, Xinqiao hospital orthopedics Professor lead director week jump up key ABC, and in 2009 joint cooperation between research, CAs, Shenyang Institute of automation, researched and developed this minimally invasive spine surgery robot.

This machine is the first generation, in the case of all-remote control-type, mainly used in minimally invasive surgery of the spine CT-guided pedicle screw implant fixation, and gradually to complex pelvic and acetabular fractures, sacral bone fractures and dislocations, intramedullary distal fixation and femur tibia screws, etc.

According to Zhou hop, this type of robot will also provide a fully automated, remote automation and intelligent direction, in complex, harsh environmental conditions for remote operation and remote control.
