Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of surgical auxiliary instruments, in particular to an auxiliary positioning device for minimally invasive spine surgery. Background Art

[0002] Minimally invasive surgery is the trend of future development. Minimally invasive spinal surgery has also achieved rapid development in recent years. Currently, many spinal diseases can be treated with minimally invasive methods, such as percutaneous pedicle screw fixation, vertebral tumor puncture biopsy, vertebroplasty (PVP), etc. The key to the success of minimally invasive spinal surgery is the accuracy of intraoperative guide needle positioning. However, even experienced clinicians may encounter problems such as inaccurate positioning of the guide needle after insertion and the need for repeated fluoroscopic adjustment of the guide needle.

[0003] Doctors and medical engineers have designed and manufactured various tools to improve the accuracy and efficiency of minimally invasive spinal surgery. The application of navigation and robots has greatly improved the accuracy of minimally invasive spinal surgery positioning. However, at present, navigation and robotic systems require more fluoroscopy during surgery to complete the identification and matching of the surgical area. In addition, since the fluoroscopy area of ​​the fluoroscopy instrument during surgery is not a parallel cylinder, but a cone, it is required that the doctor assisting the fluoroscopy is high, otherwise it is easy to cause identification and matching errors, and once the patient's position moves slightly, it will also cause positioning errors. In addition, the high price and complex operation greatly limit the clinical application. At present, the most commonly used clinical application is the locator placed on the surface of the back skin, such as a metal grid, but this positioning method ignores the soft tissue distance between the skin and the bony structure, and there will be large errors in the incision design and the positioning needle cohesion angle planning. In addition, since the human spine is "S" shaped when viewed from the side, the locator on the back cannot help the doctor confirm the angle of the puncture needle on the coronal plane. Therefore, the locator can only be inserted into the patient's body by experience and then adjusted by fluoroscopy. The positioning needle is inevitably in a poor position, and the surgical incision needs to be enlarged and the positioning needle needs to be adjusted repeatedly under fluoroscopy. Therefore, such a positioning method will significantly increase the radiation dose exposed to doctors and patients, leading to larger surgical incisions and damage caused by repeated insertion of positioning needles. In addition, inaccurate placement of positioning needles will lead to poor surgical results and the risk of surgical complications. Utility Model Content
