This model will effectively eliminate geographical restrictions, realize the new situation of minimally invasive spinal surgery by Buddhist Chinese medicine experts remote planning guidance, orthopedic robot surgery system accurate navigation.
5G connected orthopedic robot to support 5G surgery remotely
Guan Honggang, director of the Orthopedics and Traumatology Center of Buddha Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the traditional pedicle screw implantation technology has different degrees of error rates, compared with the percutaneous pedicle nail fixation technology as an important minimally invasive way, which can bring more comfortable treatment experience for patients. Orthopedic robot intelligent system plays a pivotal role in this field, which can provide doctors with high-precision surgical navigation and make surgery safer and more reliable. The system only needs to conduct a one-time image scan before or during the operation to monitor the changes in the Angle and depth of the surgical instruments in multiple dimensions, without the need for repeated positioning of the C-arm, which greatly reduces the amount of X-ray radiation for patients and doctors.
Experts can choose the best route of nail placement for patients according to the high-definition real-time image data provided by the navigation system, and determine the length, Angle and screw diameter/number, which greatly simplifies the surgical operation and greatly improves the accuracy of the surgery. In addition, the percutaneous minimally invasive small incision surgery has the characteristics of less trauma and less blood loss, which is conducive to the postoperative recovery of patients. More importantly, through the 5G connection, Buddhist Chinese medicine experts can also interact with doctors in lower-level hospitals in real time, providing them with remote support and guidance, so that this advanced technology can break through the space and benefit a wider group of patients.
The accuracy of robot-assisted screw implantation was approximately 96.9 percent
According to reports, since September 2017, Buddha Chinese Medicine has taken the lead in carrying out orthopaedic robot surgery in South China, implemented the country's first 5G orthopaedic surgery robot-assisted surgery remote guidance in 2019, and won the title of "Orthopaedic robot remote Surgery Center founding unit" at the 2019 World Robot Conference. At present, under the joint efforts of backbone experts such as Chen Chao, Huo Zhiming, Liang Liangke and Wang Gang, the spine Surgery Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has successfully carried out more than 40 cases of robotic spinal minimally invasive surgery, achieving precise treatment of spinal minimally invasive surgery, helping to accelerate the recovery of patients, and the overall technology is at the leading level in China. At the same time, the team is more actively promoting this advanced technology to lower-level hospitals, through remote support, so that doctors in lower-level hospitals can obtain high-level surgical guidance, thereby improving their skills and avoiding the trouble of long-distance patients. In the future, this remote power model is expected to be applied in more fields and promote the high-quality development of medical and health services.
On January 9, spine surgery ushered in a new breakthrough, with the support of orthopedic robots, successfully completed the thoracoland lumbar posterior incision and correction internal fixation + bone grafting for a 25-year-old female patient with scoliosis and low back pain for 11 years. Through the precise planning of the intelligent system, Chen Chao screwed 20 pedicle screws into the bilateral vertebral arch of the thoracic 5-lumbar 2 vertebrae, determined their approach, position and length, and then inserted the convex and convex pedicle screws in turn according to the navigation, applying reverse force to achieve the orthopedic effect. Postoperative scoliosis improved significantly.
Chen Chao said that the traditional scoliosis surgery is a difficult, more complex surgical operation, often due to anatomical structure variation caused by nail placement bias, experienced spine surgeons nail placement accuracy can reach 90%, but several hours of sustained mental and physical consumption is a great challenge for doctors. The emergence of minimally invasive spinal surgery robot is equivalent to equiing doctors with a "good helper", through the standard and standardized accurate navigation, so that the surgical plan such as driving map is imported into the system, and the surgical operation is like "following the navigation". In addition, the navigation screen also allows the doctor to see and confirm the depth and Angle of the nail placement in real time, ensuring that the operation is performed according to the plan, and escorting the doctor to carry out the operation more accurately.
According to statistics, the accuracy rate of robot-assisted screw implantation was about 96.9%, which significantly improved the accuracy rate, shortened the operation time, and reduced the complications such as intraoperative bleeding and spinal cord nerve injury. "The technology upgrade allows us to continuously exceed our physical and geographical limitations, and to provide patients with accurate, safe and efficient treatment, which is our goal, thanks to the support of hospital leaders and orthopedics center." Chen Chao said.
