Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surgical robots, and in particular to a transnasal interventional variable stiffness flexible bone-grinding robot and a stiffness control method. Background Technology

[0002] Transnasal bone reshaping surgery is a minimally invasive technique primarily used to treat diseases of the skull base, sinuses, and nasal region, such as saddle nose correction, skull base tumor resection, and nasal septum repair. Its core advantage lies in accessing the surgical area through the natural cavity (nasal cavity), avoiding the skin incisions of traditional open surgery, thus reducing tissue damage and postoperative complications. As surgical procedures become increasingly minimally invasive and precise, the transnasal approach is gradually becoming an important option in craniofacial surgery. For example, in rhinoplasty, reshaping the nasal bone or cartilage through an intranasal incision significantly reduces external scarring and improves patient satisfaction. In skull base surgery, transnasal endoscopy is widely used for the resection of pituitary tumors and other lesions, avoiding the trauma of craniotomy. The nasal cavity and skull base region have complex anatomy, involving important blood vessels, nerves (such as the optic nerve and internal carotid artery), and brain tissue. In traditional surgery, limited field of vision and high-risk procedures are major bottlenecks, while transnasal interventional techniques, assisted by endoscopy or robotics, can achieve precise manipulation.

[0003] Despite the significant advantages of robotic transnasal bone reshaping surgery, its technological implementation faces multiple challenges. While traditional robotic surgery has improved performance in minimally invasive surgery, it still faces challenges in narrow and difficult-to-access spaces.

[0004] Traditional robots have at least the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Traditional bone grinding or bone removal surgery uses rigid tools such as Kerrison forceps, biopsy forceps, and curettes to remove necrotic tissue from the wound surface. Rigid tools have difficulty reaching the lesion area in a narrow space.

[0006] 2. The average width of the nasal cavity is only about 7-15mm, and there are irregular structures such as turbinate and nasal septum. Traditional instruments are difficult to operate flexibly, and the narrow surgical field makes it difficult for bone grinding instruments to accurately locate the target bone area.

[0007] 3. Existing flexible robots have low stiffness and deform under external loads, failing to meet the requirements of bone grinding tasks. Existing flexible robots lack variable stiffness capability, resulting in deficiencies in stability and force control, thus affecting the accuracy of bone grinding operations.

[0008] 4. Existing flexible robots have poor bending ability and low flexibility, and cannot form an "S" shaped curve, making it difficult to adapt to the curved and narrow nasal cavity environment;

[0009] Despite the advantages of continuum in terms of flexibility and range of operation, its application in transnasal bone reshaping surgery has not been widely adopted due to the high contact force and specific requirements. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transnasal variable stiffness flexible bone reshaping surgical robot and a stiffness control method to address this issue. Summary of the Invention

[0059] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0060] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0061] 1. The outer arm continuum is composed of snake bone continuum units, which gives it high flexibility while also providing high rigidity. After the outer arm continuum enters the surgical cavity, it can provide a high-rigidity working space for the inner arm continuum and the drill bit.

[0062] 2. By simultaneously axially stretching / compressing the tendon, the compression or elongation of the distal spring of the inner arm continuum can be controlled, thereby changing the stiffness of the distal end of the inner arm continuum. When feeding, the spring is stretched to reduce stiffness, making it more flexible and easier to reach the surgical area; when the grinding drill is working, the spring is compressed to give it higher stiffness so that it does not damage non-disease tissue when the drill grinds bone. This achieves the function of adjustable stiffness, which is more conducive to the needs of surgical operation.

[0063] 3. By manually adjusting the screw, the pretension block moves back and forth, thereby changing the pretension force of the tendon through axial tension / compression. This simple mechanism adjusts the pretension force of the tendon and solves the problem of tendon laxity caused by long-term repeated axial tension / compression.

[0064] 4. The feed control mechanism can adjust the overall feed of the inner arm drive mechanism and the overall feed of the grinding mechanism according to actual needs, enhancing the flexibility of the transnasal pituitary tumor minimally invasive resection surgical robot.
