[0002] In the prior art, CN111529063A discloses a surgical navigation system and method based on multimodal fusion of three-dimensional reconstruction, wherein the system includes an image data preprocessing module, a preoperative planning module and a real-time surgical navigation module; the image data preprocessing module is used to collect and process medical image data; the preoperative planning module performs multimodal fusion on the processed medical image data to establish a preoperative lesion localization model and plan a surgical path; the real-time surgical navigation module establishes a dynamic model based on the four-dimensional ultrasound scanning data during the operation, and compares the dynamic model with the preoperative lesion model to update the surgical path.

[0003] A method for monitoring blood flow as disclosed in the prior art, such as CN111801052A. An unfocused plane wave ultrasound pulse is transmitted into the subject from a single-element ultrasound transducer (2) fixed to the subject (5) along a transmission axis. Reflections of the ultrasound pulse are received, and a series of pulse Doppler response signals are generated over time. Each pulse Doppler response signal is processed to determine a first corresponding spatial maximum velocity value of blood flowing to a single transducer element (2), and a second corresponding spatial maximum velocity value of blood flowing away from the blood. Heartbeats are identified from the spatial maximum velocity values, and a quality metric is assigned to each identified heartbeat. For an assigned quality metric exceeding a threshold level, a subset of spatial maximum velocity values ​​is identified. Values ​​from the subset are monitored, and when a set of values ​​from the subset meets a predetermined alarm criterion, an audible or visual alarm signal is issued.

[0004] During the actual operation, due to changes in the patient's physical condition, the 3D surgical path and surgical range planned by the surgical navigation may cause vascular damage or abnormal blood flow, leading to complications such as postoperative tissue ischemia and necrosis.

[0005] The prior art has the following problems:

[0006] In the existing technology, surgical navigation and real-time microcirculation detection are two systems. It is impossible to use real-time microcirculation monitoring to correct the 3D surgical path, and the risk of complications is high.

[0007] The above statements are only used to provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the invention

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for combining surgical navigation with real-time microcirculation detection, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Scan the patient, obtain the anatomical structure image of the surgical area, analyze and process the image, and determine the 3D surgical path and surgical scope;

[0011] Place markers and, through surgical navigation, match and calibrate the patient’s actual position with preoperative imaging data to establish the actual three-dimensional coordinate system of the patient’s body;

[0012] The microcirculation real-time monitoring module monitors the flow state of the patient's microvessels in real time, the laser Doppler blood flowmeter detects the blood flow velocity and direction, analyzes the dynamic changes of microcirculation, and displays the blood vessel microcirculation state through the microcirculation display;

[0014] Determine whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value. If the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, suspend the movement of the surgical instrument, withdraw the surgical instrument from the patient's body, and repair the patient's blood vessel located at the withdrawal position of the surgical instrument;

[0015] Determine whether the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path when the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value; if the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path when the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, modify the position of the path point of the 3D surgical path to form a new 3D surgical path;

[0016] If the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value and the surgical instrument is not located at a path point of the 3D surgical path, a new path point is added to form a new 3D surgical path;

[0017] The surgical instruments follow the new 3D surgical pathway to perform the operation and conduct real-time monitoring of the patient's vascular microcirculation until the end of the operation.

[0018] As an embodiment of the present invention, the following steps are also included:

[0019] Monitor the patient's blood flow to determine whether the patient's blood flow is lower than a second preset value. If the patient's blood flow is lower than the second preset value, pause the movement of the surgical instrument, withdraw the surgical instrument from the patient's body, repair the patient's blood vessels at the withdrawal position of the surgical instrument, and modify the 3D surgical path.

[0020] As an embodiment of the present invention, the following steps are also included:

[0030] Different from the prior art, the above technical solution determines whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value. If the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, the movement of the surgical instrument is suspended, the surgical instrument is withdrawn from the patient's body, and the patient's blood vessels located at the withdrawal position of the surgical instrument are repaired; when the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, it is determined whether the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path. If the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path, and the position of the path point of the 3D surgical path is modified to form a new 3D surgical path; if the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, the surgical instrument is not located at a path point of the 3D surgical path, a new path point is added to form a new 3D surgical path; the surgical instrument performs surgery according to the new 3D surgical path, and performs real-time monitoring of the microcirculation of the patient's blood vessels until the end of the operation. In this way, by monitoring whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, when the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, the path points of the 3D surgical path can be adjusted to avoid important microvessels during the operation and reduce the risk of surgery; help doctors accurately locate and understand the blood supply status of tissues during surgery, provide doctors with a more comprehensive operational perspective, improve the accuracy of surgery, and reduce the risk of complications.

[0070] In the existing technology, surgical navigation and real-time microcirculation detection are two systems. It is impossible to use real-time microcirculation monitoring to correct the 3D surgical path, and the risk of complications is high.

[0071] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and system for combining surgical navigation with real-time detection of microcirculation. The method determines whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value. If the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, the movement of the surgical instrument is paused, and the surgical instrument is withdrawn from the patient's body. According to the position of the surgical instrument, the path points of the 3D surgical path are modified or new path points are added to form a new 3D surgical path. The path points of the 3D surgical path can be adjusted to avoid important microvessels during surgery and reduce surgical risks. The method helps doctors to accurately locate and understand the blood supply status of tissues during surgery, provide doctors with a more comprehensive operating perspective, improve the accuracy of surgery, and reduce the risk of complications.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment relates to a method for combining surgical navigation with real-time microcirculation detection, comprising the following steps:

[0073] S1. Scan the patient, obtain the anatomical structure image of the surgical area, analyze and process the image, and determine the 3D surgical path and surgical scope;

[0074] S2, placing markers, matching and calibrating the patient's actual position with the preoperative imaging data through surgical navigation, and establishing the actual three-dimensional coordinate system of the patient's body;

[0075] S3, monitor the flow state of the patient's microvessels in real time through the microcirculation real-time monitoring module, detect the blood flow velocity and blood flow direction through the laser Doppler blood flowmeter, analyze the dynamic changes of microcirculation, and display the blood vessel microcirculation state through the microcirculation display 6;

[0076] S4, performing surgery on the patient according to the 3D surgical path, monitoring the position and direction of the surgical instrument and the patient's body in real time, displaying the real-time position and direction of the surgical instrument on the patient's body through the surgical navigation display 5, judging whether it complies with the 3D surgical path, and giving a reminder if the surgical instrument deviates from the 3D surgical path;

[0077] S5, determining whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value. If the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, pausing the movement of the surgical instrument, withdrawing the surgical instrument from the patient's body, and repairing the patient's blood vessel located at the withdrawal position of the surgical instrument;

[0078] S6, determining whether the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path when the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value; if the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path when the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, modifying the position of the path point of the 3D surgical path to form a new 3D surgical path;

[0079] S7. If the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value and the surgical instrument is not located at a path point of the 3D surgical path, a new path point is added to form a new 3D surgical path;

[0080] S8. The surgical instruments perform the operation according to the new 3D surgical pathway and monitor the microcirculation of the patient's blood vessels in real time until the end of the operation.

[0081] In this embodiment, the surgical path diagram of the surgical instrument is modified by judging whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value. When the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, it means that the surgical instrument has damaged the patient's important microvessels and the microvessels need to be repaired. After the repair is completed, it is also necessary to judge whether the damaged part of the microvessel is located on the path point of the 3D surgical path. If the damaged part of the microvessel is the path point of the 3D surgical path, the path point of the 3D surgical path needs to be changed; if the damaged part of the microvessel is not the path point of the 3D surgical path, a new path point needs to be added to bypass the damaged part of the microvessel. A new 3D surgical path is formed to avoid secondary damage and avoid vascular damage or abnormal blood flow during surgery.

[0082] In this way, by monitoring whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, when the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, the path points of the 3D surgical path can be adjusted to avoid important microvessels during the operation and reduce the risk of surgery; help doctors accurately locate and understand the blood supply status of tissues during surgery, provide doctors with a more comprehensive operational perspective, improve the accuracy of surgery, and reduce the risk of complications.

[0083] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the following steps are further included:

[0084] Monitor the patient's blood flow to determine whether the patient's blood flow is lower than a second preset value. If the patient's blood flow is lower than the second preset value, pause the movement of the surgical instrument, withdraw the surgical instrument from the patient's body, repair the patient's blood vessels at the withdrawal position of the surgical instrument, and modify the 3D surgical path.

[0085] In this embodiment, when determining whether the patient's blood flow is lower than the second preset value, whether the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path; if the patient's blood flow is lower than the second preset value, the surgical instrument is located at the path point of the 3D surgical path, the position of the path point of the 3D surgical path is modified to form a new 3D surgical path; if the patient's blood flow is lower than the second preset value, the surgical instrument is not located at the path point of the 3D surgical path, a new path point is added to form a new 3D surgical path;

[0086] As in the case of the patient's blood flow velocity, in this embodiment, if the patient's blood flow rate is lower than the second preset value, it also means that the surgical instrument has damaged the patient's important microvessels, and the microvessels need to be repaired in time. After the repair, the point of vascular damage needs to be bypassed to form a new 3D surgical path, so as not to cause secondary damage and avoid vascular damage or abnormal blood flow during surgery. This improves the accuracy of the surgery and reduces the risk of complications.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the following steps are further included:

[0088] Determine whether the patient's blood flow direction is normal. If the patient's blood flow direction is abnormal during the operation, the movement of the surgical instrument is suspended, the surgical instrument is withdrawn from the patient's body, the patient's blood vessels at the withdrawal position of the surgical instrument are repaired, and the 3D surgical path is modified.

[0089] In this embodiment, it is determined whether the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path when the patient's blood flow direction is abnormal. If the surgical instrument is located at a path point of the 3D surgical path when the patient's blood flow direction is abnormal, the position of the path point of the 3D surgical path is modified to form a new 3D surgical path; if the surgical instrument is not located at a path point of the 3D surgical path when the patient's blood flow direction is abnormal, a new path point is added to form a new 3D surgical path;

[0090] Just like the situation with the patient's blood flow speed, in this embodiment, if the patient's blood flow direction is abnormal, it means that the patient's blood flow is reversed, and the surgical instrument has damaged the patient's important microvessels. The microvessels need to be repaired in time. After the repair, it is necessary to bypass the point of vascular damage to form a new 3D surgical path without causing secondary injury, so as to avoid vascular damage or blood flow abnormalities during the operation.

[0091] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, sound or vibration feedback is used to prompt the patient that microcirculation abnormalities occur.

[0092] In this way, if there is an abnormality in microcirculation (such as reduced blood flow, local blood flow interruption, etc.), the system will sound an alarm to remind the doctor to take measures. The patient's microcirculation is abnormal through sound or vibration feedback, allowing the doctor to stop the operation.

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the following steps are further included:

[0094] The navigation data and microcirculation monitoring data during the operation are stored, and a comparison function is provided during the operation. The microcirculation display 6 shows the changes in microcirculation before and during the operation.

[0095] In this way, by storing the navigation data and microcirculation monitoring data during the operation, it is convenient for postoperative review and analysis. It provides an intraoperative comparison function to view the changes in microcirculation before and after the operation. It can view the changes in microcirculation during the operation in real time, which is convenient for comparing the patient's microcirculation data.

[0096] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the near-infrared spectral sensor 7 is used to evaluate the blood oxygen saturation by measuring the absorption of near-infrared light by the patient's tissue to determine whether the patient's blood oxygen saturation is abnormal. If the patient's blood oxygen saturation is abnormal, an alarm is triggered.

[0097] Thus, the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensor: monitors the blood oxygen content of the tissue, evaluates the microcirculatory status, and verifies the patient's blood oxygen saturation changes with the laser Doppler blood flowmeter.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, an ultrasonic sensor 9 is used to monitor changes in the diameter of the patient's blood vessels through ultrasonic imaging technology to determine whether the diameter of the patient's blood vessels is abnormal. If the patient's blood oxygen saturation is abnormal, an alarm is triggered.

[0123] The surgical navigation module 10 is composed of a 3D visualization display module 1001 and a positioning module 1002. The 3D visualization display module 1001 is connected to the camera 204 via signals to provide high-definition images, display 3D images, and display the progress of the operation in real time to help doctors accurately locate.

[0127] In this embodiment, the basic principles of surgical navigation and real-time detection of microcirculation are both existing technical solutions. In this embodiment, the process of real-time detection of microcirculation is only used to adjust the 3D surgical path of surgical navigation to avoid heavy bleeding, vascular damage, and abnormal blood flow during the operation, thereby providing a better direction for surgical navigation.

[0128] Different from the existing technology, the system of the technical solution of the present application monitors whether the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds a first preset value. When the patient's blood flow velocity exceeds the first preset value, the path points of the 3D surgical path can be adjusted to avoid important microvessels during the operation and reduce surgical risks; it helps doctors to accurately locate and understand the blood supply status of tissues during the operation, provide doctors with a more comprehensive operational perspective, improve the accuracy of the operation, and reduce the risk of complications.
