What are the advantages and limitations of the clinical application of orthopedic surgical robots?

 Orthopedic surgical robot is one of the earliest surgical robots in the history of mankind, which, as a new type of surgical tool, can assist doctors to perform minimally invasive orthopedic surgery.

Compared with traditional orthopedic surgery, the advantages of the clinical application of orthopedic surgical robots are reflected in the following aspects:

  1. High precision: Orthopedic surgical robots can realize high-precision positioning and operation of the surgical site by means of high-precision sensors and control systems, thus reducing surgical errors and trauma.
  2. Low trauma: Due to the fine operation of orthopedic surgical robots, it can reduce the damage to the surrounding tissues during surgery and shorten the recovery time of patients.

As shown above, compared with traditional surgery, the surgical wound using the orthopedic surgical robot (PL300B) has changed from an incision of 30 centimeters in front and back to a small incision of about 2 centimeters, shortening the surgical time by more than 50%, reducing bleeding by more than 95%, and greatly reducing the incidence of surgical complications.

  1. Repeatability: Orthopaedic surgical robots can achieve standardization and normalization of surgical procedures, thus ensuring the repeatability and stability of surgical results.
  2. High safety: Orthopedic surgical robots can reduce accidents and misoperation during surgery through automated control systems and safety devices.

However, there are some limitations of the current orthopedic surgical robot in clinical application:

  1. High cost: compared with traditional orthopedic surgical equipment, orthopedic surgical robots are more costly, requiring hospitals to invest larger funds, and are mostly applicable to large tertiary hospitals.
  2. Need for professional operation: domestic and foreign products are in the semi-automatic stage assisted by robots, people are not yet able to implement the full process, fully automatic surgery, is still in the semi-automatic stage of the need for doctors to intervene. 3.
  3. Requirements on the patient’s body type: Because orthopedic surgery robots need to be precisely positioned and operated during surgery, patients need to have certain bone morphology and body type characteristics to ensure the accuracy and safety of the surgery.
