Optical navigation robot-assisted puncture system for accurate lung nodule biopsy: an animal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As lung cancer is one of the most significant factors seriously endangering human health, a robot-assisted puncture system with high accuracy and safety is urgently needed. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the safety and effectiveness of such a robot-assisted system to the conventional computed tomography (CT)-guided manual method for percutaneous lung biopsies (PLBs) in pigs.

Methods

An optical navigation robot-assisted puncture system was developed and compared to the traditional CT-guided PLB using simulated lesions in experimental animals. A total of 30 pulmonary nodules were successfully created in 5 pigs (Wuzhishan pig, 1 male and 4 females). Of these, 15 were punctured by the optical navigation robot-assisted puncture system (robotic group), and 15 were manually punctured under CT guidance (manual group). The biopsy success rate, operation time, first needle tip-target point deviation, and needle adjustment times were compared between groups. Postoperative CT scans were performed to identify complications.

Results

The single puncture success rate was higher in the robotic group (13/15; 86.7%) than in the manual group (8/15; 53.3%). The first puncture was closer to the target lesion (1.8±1.7 mm), and the operation time was shorter (7.1±3.7 minutes) in the robotic group than in the manual group (4.4±2.8 mm and 12.9±7.6 minutes, respectively). The angle deviation was smaller in the robotic group (3.26°±2.48°) than in the manual group (7.71°±3.86°). The robotic group displayed significant advantages (P<0.05). The primary complication in both groups was slight bleeding, with an incidence of 26.7% in the robotic group and 40.0% in the manual group. There was 1 case of pneumothorax in the manual group, and there were no deaths due to complications in either group.

Conclusions

An optical navigation robot-assisted system for PLBs guided by CT images was developed and demonstrated. The experimental results indicate that the proposed system is accurate, efficient, and safe in pigs.

Project description:PurposeIn the surgical treatment for lower-leg intra-articular fractures, the fragments have to be positioned and aligned to reconstruct the fractured bone as precisely as possible, to allow the joint to function correctly again. Standard procedures use 2D radiographs to estimate the desired reduction position of bone fragments. However, optimal correction in a 3D space requires 3D imaging. This paper introduces a new navigation system that uses pre-operative planning based on 3D CT data and intra-operative 3D guidance to virtually reduce lower-limb intra-articular fractures. Physical reduction in the fractures is then performed by our robotic system based on the virtual reduction.Methods3D models of bone fragments are segmented from CT scan. Fragments are pre-operatively visualized on the screen and virtually manipulated by the surgeon through a dedicated GUI to achieve the virtual reduction in the fracture. Intra-operatively, the actual position of the bone fragments is provided by an optical tracker enabling real-time 3D guidance. The motion commands for the robot connected to the bone fragment are generated, and the fracture physically reduced based on the surgeon's virtual reduction. To test the system, four femur models were fractured to obtain four different distal femur fracture types. Each one of them was subsequently reduced 20 times by a surgeon using our system.ResultsThe navigation system allowed an orthopaedic surgeon to virtually reduce the fracture with a maximum residual positioning error of [Formula: see text] (translational) and [Formula: see text] (rotational). Correspondent physical reductions resulted in an accuracy of 1.03 ± 0.2 mm and [Formula: see text], when the robot reduced the fracture.ConclusionsExperimental outcome demonstrates the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed navigation system, presenting a fracture reduction accuracy of about 1 mm and [Formula: see text], and meeting the clinical requirements for distal femur fracture reduction procedures.

Project description:BackgroundMandibular tumor surgery necessitates precise osteotomies based on tumor boundaries; however, conventional osteotomies often lack accuracy in predicting osteotomy positions and planes, potentially leading to excessive resection of normal bone tissues or residual tumors, thus compromising postoperative quality of life and clinical outcomes. Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) augmented with artificial intelligence (AI) offers precise localization capabilities, aiding surgeons in achieving accurate osteotomy positioning. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a robotic magnetic navigation system for positioning and osteotomy in an intraoral surgical trial of a mandibular tumor model.MethodsPatient computed tomography (CT) imaging data of mandibular chin and body tumors were utilized to create 3D printed models, serving as study subjects for mandibular tumor resection. Ten pairs of models were printed for the experimental and control groups. The experimental group (EG) underwent osteotomy using a robot-assisted surgical navigation system, performing osteotomy under robotic navigation following alignment based on preoperative design. The control group (CG) underwent traditional surgery, estimating osteotomy position empirically according to preoperative design. Postoperative CT scans were conducted on both models, and actual postoperative results were compared to preoperative design. Osteotomy accuracy was evaluated by positional and angular errors between preoperatively designed and actual osteotomy planes.ResultsFor ten randomly selected spots on the left and right sides, respectively, the EG group had mean distance errors of 0.338 mm and 0.941 mm. These values were obtained from the EG group. In the EG group, on the left side, the mean angular errors were 14.741 degrees, while on the right side, they were 13.021 degrees. For the 10 randomly selected spots on the left and right sides, respectively, the CG had mean distance errors of 1.776 mm and 2.320 mm. This is in contrast to the results obtained by the EG. It was determined that the left side had a mean angle error of 16.841 degrees, while the right side had an error of 18.416 degrees in the CG group. The above results indicated significantly lower point errors of bilateral osteotomy planes in the experimental group compared to the control group.ConclusionThis study demonstrates the feasibility of electromagnetic navigation robot-assisted intraoral osteotomy for mandibular tumors and suggests that this approach can enhance the precision of clinical surgery.
