Microinterventional System for Robot-Assisted Gonioscopic Surgery– Technical Feasibility and Preclinical Evaluation in Synthetic Eye Models
BMC OPHTHALMOLOGY(2024)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Preclinical technical feasibility study of robot-assisted microinvasive glaucoma surgery using a novel ophthalmic robot-assisted surgery system. METHODS:Feasibility was assessed in synthetic eye models in two stages: Stage I, nonimplantable robot-assisted goniotomy; and Stage II, robot-assisted stent implantation using a trabecular bypass stent. Robot-assisted interventions were subsequently compared to the manual approach. RESULTS:Stage I: Two surgeons completed 10 trials each of ab-interno sectoral goniotomy with and without robotic assistance for at least 3 clock hours using a standard goniotomy knife and more than 10 clock hours of extended goniotomy using a flexible, guided goniotomy instrument. Stage II: Trabecular bypass stent deployment was successfully achieved in 100% of the attempts with and without robotic assistance. Surgical time was recorded and compared between the robotic-assisted and the manual approach. CONCLUSIONS:A system for robot-assisted microinvasive glaucoma surgery can successfully achieve implantable and nonimplantable interventions in the anterior segment. This is the first known demonstration of the feasibility of robot-assisted glaucoma surgery.
