摘要
As one of the minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), transoral robotic surgery (TORS) contributes to excellent oncological and functional outcomes. This paper introduces a compliant and flexible robotic system for transoral surgery, consisting of an execution part with flexible parallel mechanisms and a positioning part with a continuum structure. A pilot cadaveric study that mimics the procedure of the TORS using an intact cadaveric human head was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of this robotic system. Both the initial setup time and the time cost by the robot to safely access the deep surgical area in the upper aerodigestive tract are shortened due to the enlarged workspace, compact structure, and increased flexibility. The proposed surgical robotic system is preliminarily demonstrated to be feasible for TORS, especially for the in-depth surgical sites in the upper aerodigestive tract.
