  3. The Intended Application of the System Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  4. The Older Approach • Spinal fusion, also known as spondylodesis or spondylosyndesis, is a surgical technique used to combine two or more vertebrae using a screw like implant. • With the help of multiple fluoroscopy images the surgeon continuously monitors the placement of the pedicle in the spinous process.

  6. The Older Approach Drawbacks • Intricate, delicate and long surgery • 10% risk of implant misplacement, out of which 5% have clinical consequences. • 30% of implants could have been better placed, though they do not require revision surgery • Radiation Exposure Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  7. What SpineAssist Brings to the Table • Enabling precise and efficient Minimal Invasive access procedures. • Short MIS procedure time while Significantly reduce exposure to Fluro radiation (2 shots only). • Operated with no dedicated personal in the room. • No need to maintain Line of Sight during operation • Training: • 2 hours saw bone. • 5 cases supported by clinical instructor. • Set up: Nurse / Radiology technician based 3 minutes set up time Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  8. Some important Statistics • 2008, the total U.S. spinal implant market was valued at $4.75 billion(1), coupled with a dynamic market growth of 10.7% annually, and is projected to reach more than $3.8 billion in the year 2009. • Aimed to increase the accuracy of implantation during surgeries • Minimally invasive spinal fusion systems are estimated to grow at a compound annual rate of nearly 15%, from an estimated $107 million in 2004 to more than $200 million in 2009.

  9. Architecture and Components Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  10. The Workstation Miniature Robot Device The T- Frame Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  11. Workstation And Software • Software allows surgeons to perform pre-operative planning on a PC at their own convenience. • A virtual catalogue of surgical implants allows visualizing the placement of the implants in 3 planes for each vertebra. • The software allows for a step by step review of the planning and simulation of correction intended by the procedure. • The software supports a range of measurements including Cobb angle, lordosis and kyphosis. The software also calculates rod length and curvature. • The workstation connects to a fluoroscopic C-Arm and performs automatic CT-to-fluoroscopy image registration based upon 2 fluoroscopic images. The workstation is used to control the precise motion of the miniature device to the preplanned position Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  12. Miniature device • A miniature, high precision hexapod with 6 DOF is used as guidance assistance for spinal surgery. • The hexapod robot measures 50 mm (2 in) in diameter and 80 mm (3.15in) in height for a weight of 250 g (0.5 lb). • The working volume is several cubic centimeters depending on the guide arm used. • Six of Faulhaber’s DC brushless smoovy® gear motors with custom drive electronics drive the linear actuators based on a high precision, miniature lead screw design. • Accurate and absolute displacement measurement is assured by seven LVDT sensors, one for each actuator and the seventh tracking the performance of the others. The miniature drive measuring only 5 mm in diameter and has a custom M2.5 thread lead screw. Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  29. Hover-T MIS Bridge (with lateral capabilities) Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  30. An Engineering Perspective Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  31. Advantages • The high precision software guiding system and an accurate computer to calculate the rotation and displacement transformations , the overall system accuracy and repeatability is less than 100 microns and 10 microns respectively. • With highly accurate and durable Faulhaber’s DC brushless smoovy® gear motors supported with custom drive electronics drive the 6 linear actuators and a miniature lead screw design the motion control accuracy is of 10 microns. • The displacement of the linear actuators is constantly measured in a feedback mechanism by 7 Lvdt’s. Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  32. Advantages • When you take into account human influence and the CT- and fluoroscopic-image distortion, the system accuracy in placing an implant with respect to the preoperative plan is of less than 1.5 mm. • The computerized simulations and pre-operative procedures supported by the automatic image registration has reduced the number of fluroscopy images required per operation by a factor of 3 hence less radiation exposure time . • Less pain, smaller incisions, fewer complications and a more rapid return to normal activity • The surgeon drills and places the desired implant with 2.5 times more accuracy than with freehand, and with 51 times less radiation exposure.

  33. Disadvantages • One has to attach a bridge to the tool for advanced entry into the spinous process as shown in the video. • The T- frame limits the range of motion for the robotic device. One cannot have multiple insertions if they are at a distance greater than the length of the T-frame. • Doctors require many hours of training before they can use the SpineAssist since they need to understand the software and pre-operative procedures in great detail before operating with the system Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  34. Critical Review • Limited range of motion is by far the only major drawback for this system. • Consider the given system. • The optimal robot position is the calculated that aligns the robot and image coordinate frames Timagerobot is computed by matching three points, Piroboti =1,2,3, along the X,Y,Z axes at unit distance from the robot origin Pbaserobot with Horn’s closed-form solution. • Then, the planned trajectory computed in robot coordinates, and the closest point to the robot guide is obtained with t Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  35. Critical Review 2 rotational joints • The L shaped tool arm attached to the soda can type miniature robot (hexapod) does not offer any degree of freedom to the operator. • Computational and development cost may have propelled this decision but .. • One could suggest the inclusion of 2 rotational joints as circled in the picture alongside • This would definitely complicate the computation of the transformation but would lead to much a more flexible robot Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490

  36. Critical Review • Another significant drawback of the SpineAssist is the T – frame. • With the T – frame one has to make 3 incisions to just place the foundation and then make actual operating incision • If we could develop a guide wire type of system, where the miniature robot would hover over the patient’s body. The system would be truly minimally invasive. Mitul Shah 11715595 Medical Robotics ECE S 690 / 490
