Article Abstract
The difficulties such as how to accurately locate acupoints and safely insert needles are presented in acupuncture robot. The puncture robot with high technological similarity to acupuncture robot is getting mature, and a large number of human trials and animal experiments have been conducted for the development of puncture robot. Through comparing the similarities and differences between puncture robot and acupuncture robot in the aspects of through-skin puncture, needle insertion and needle removal, the valuable technology of puncture robot is analyzed for the development of acupuncture robot, and the crucial direction of technology migration is determined. ①Integrating the mechanical feedback and medical imaging technology and utilizing the multi-modal perception to achieve the safety of acupuncture operation. ②Emphasizing the integration of the existing designs of chest puncture robot to realize the acupuncture operation with inhalation and exhalation involved. ③Focusing on the development of relevant technology of automatic needle removal through conducting the actual scenario of treatment with acupuncture robot in patients under non-anaesthetic condition.

Purpose: A newly developed device, the Partially Automated Needle Direction Assistant, was designed to assist with computed tomography-guided oblique needle puncture. This device allows operators to accurately and in real-time determine the puncture angle based on the target lesion and needle entry point. The purpose of this report is to introduce the concept of Partially Automated Needle Direction Assistant and present results from an initial phantom study.

Purpose: The spinal surgery robot can provide precise preoperative or intraoperative surgical planning and guide the implementation of the surgical plan under real-time navigation monitoring. Researchers have recently begun exploring the use of robotic systems to assist in performing Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD). However, prior studies have primarily focused on robotic-assisted transforaminal puncture.

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the anatomical feasibility and the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) via the extreme lateral transverse process-pedicle approach (ETPA) in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). Researchers analyzed 1000 lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5) from 200 patients and simulated PKP via the ETPA using 3D-CT imaging. The distance between the entry point and the midline of the vertebral body (DEM), the puncture inclination angle (PIA), the safe range of the puncture inclination angles (SRP), the success rate (SR) of puncture, sagittal inclination angle (SIA), and the safe range of the sagittal inclination angle (SRS) were measured and compared.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of TiRobot-assisted PVP surgery in the treatment of middle and upper thoracic OVCF. We also aimed to determine (1) changes in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before and after treatment, (2) imaging changes of the fractured vertebra, (3) operation time and intraoperative blood loss, (4) frequency of puncture and fluoroscopy, hospital stay, radiation exposure of patient and surgeon, and (5) bone cement leakage and distribution and operation-related complications.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 62 patients with OVCF of the middle and upper thoracic vertebrae (T1-T8) who underwent PVP surgery in Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2017 to January 2023.
