Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for robotically assisted positioning of an implant in a patient to alter position and shape of a soft tissue. A soft-tissue manipulatorsystem includes an implantable positioning unit (IPU) to engage a soft-tissue implant, and an external control console to dynamically control the IPU to position the implant to interface with the target soft tissue. A user may use the external control console to remotely and transcutaneously control the position and motion of the implant, and to adjust shape and contour of the implant via a micro-actuator array on the implant. The system may be used in a thyroplasty surgery to position and manipulate a thyroplasty implant to modify a vocal cord, such as to medialize or lateralize the vocal cord to restore or improve voice quality.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 640,964, filed March 9, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] This document relates generally to medical systems, and more particularly to systems, devices, and methods for robotically manipulating implants to change the position or shape of soft tissue. Background technique [0004] Millions of people in the United States and around the world suffer from chronic voice disorders. Many chronic voice disorders are associated with vocal cord dysfunction or disease. The vocal cords are two flexible bands of soft tissue composed of muscle collagen, elastin, and matrix located at the entrance to the trachea. The two straps are usually positioned separately to allow air to flow during breathing. During speech, the two bands come together to produce sound when air from the...
