CHAPTER 10
Mechatronic Support Systems and Robots
A surgical intervention needs manual skills (dexterity), but also cognitive capabilities and precise procedural knowledge. The surgeon has to be able to manage the task in a flexible way, and each procedure is more or less unique. Insof ar, the use of robots in surgery appeared to most surgeons, up to now, like a vision of Jules Vernes ( coined in 1921 by the Czech writer Karel Capek. In one of his books he described human-like machines able to work twice as fast as humans. These machines were called robots from the word robota (hard work). After many experiments in the 1940s the breakthrough of modern indus­trial robots came with the patent of the US American George Devol con­cerning a manipulator with repeat memory.
However, at least some interventional procedures could benefit from the major advantages of robotic support with its high precision, easy repeatability, and speed. Compared to humans, it will never become tired, inattentive, or nervous.
In bone surgery, drilling or milling could be taken over by a robot. The bone offers a rigid environment, and the material is similar in its quality to wood or metal. Accordingly, the first “robots” were actually developed for knee and hip surgery. Soon, the next “robots” followed for camera guidance in laparoscopy or as masterslave robots for cardio­vascular surgery.
Fig. 10.1). The term “robot” was
A robotis defined as a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electro-
mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry.
Wikipedia
This definition is extremely broad and not very helpful. If we consider medical applications of robots, we prefer the term “mechatronic support system” in order to emphasize the difference to industrial applications.
In the meantime, quite a wealth of machines and devices has been developed which could be denominated as “robots” or mechatronic support systems for medical purposes.

Mechatronic Support Systems and Robots
Figure 10.2 We suggest three different classes of mechatronic support systems: Programmable robots, mainly for orthopedic surgery; active guidance systems for camera control or biopsy; masterslave systems, e.g., for laparoscopy and NOTES.
389
Today, the number of experimental or commercial robots is immense. In order to facilitate an overview, we suggest the classification shown in
Fig. 10.2.
Devices such as the ROBODOC were used for cementless hip replacement. If the hole for the endoprosthesis was drilled by the machine, the contact area between the implant and bone was more than doubled. More than 15,000 surgeries were performed with the ROBODOC or the similar system CASPAR, until they vanished out of the ORs practically overnight in 2003. In a massive press campaign starting in Germany, these systems were reproached to cause significantly more “collateral” tissue damage than manual hip and knee surgery. For several years, machines of this type were more or less a taboo in ORs all over the world. However, a revival can be observed. In 2014 FDA approval was achieved for the so­called “TSolution One Surgical System” which combines the presurgical planning workstation TPLAN with a computer-assisted tool like the former ROBODOC, now called TCAT. In 2015, the CE mark was obtained. The system is provided by THINK Surgical, Fremont, CA, United States. Some clinical reports are already available.
In visceral surgery, there has never been an application of programma­ble robots.
390 Biomedical Engineering in Gastrointestinal Surgery
It is very unlikely that there will ever be any, since programmable robots need rigid anatomical structures like the bone. Bone is very stable and keeps the position if properly fixed. Position and dimension can be measured very precisely by X-ray examination, which provides reliable data for programming the machine.
In the abdominal anatomy, the conditions are by far less favorable. The contrast difference between the tissues is very low. Plain X-ray is practically useless. Cross-section imaging like CT or MRI is better (with addition of contrast media) but the precision we are accustomed to in bone surgery is not at all reached (see Chapter 5: Diagnostic Procedures). Even more important is the fact that the configuration of the internal organs permanently changes due to pulse, respiration, gravity, and peristalsis. Accordingly, the development of support systems in visceral surgery has differed completely.

10.1 COMPUTERIZED SYSTEMS

Applications of mechatronic support systems in visceral surgery encompass camera guidance or surgical manipulations with so-called “masterslave systems”.

10.1.1 Active Camera Holders

Minimally invasive surgery—videosurgery—needs a laparoscopic camera to get an insight into the surgical site. Since the surgeon has to manipu­late his instruments, an assistant has to take over camera guidance (see Chapter 7: Operative (Surgical) Laparoscopy).
In open surgery, the surgeon is the master of his view, i.e., he is able to look at what he wants to see. In laparoscopic surgery, the view has to be presented by the camera assistant, which self-evidently leads to some disadvantages. High-quality laparoscopic surgery needs a perfect func­tional interaction between both members of the surgical team which is not always guaranteed. Difficulties arise if the camera assistant is not ade­quately experienced to understand what has to be shown in a particular situation, or even worse if his opinion differs from the surgeon’s. With growing fatigue, camera guidance becomes increasingly inattentive and unstable. This is why soon after the introduction of laparoscopic surgery many attempts were made to transfer the task of camera guidance to a machine. As shown below, one of the most crucial challenges is to create a suitable interface between the surgeon and the device.

Soon, attempts were made to transfer this task to a machine.
One of the first devices specially designed to move a rigid endoscope with four degrees of freedom was the so-called FIPS endoarm (KARL STORZ GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany) (
Fig. 10.3). The invariant point
of constrained motion coincides with the trocar puncture site through the abdominal wall.
The FIPS camera guiding system consisted of a power supply unit, the operating table attachment, and the guiding device which was clipped onto the handle of the surgical instrument (
Fig. 10.4).
Though the FIPS never became more than a prototype and the design was comparatively simple as regarded from today, it was an easy-to-use assisting system which was, at that time, a real competitor to similar systems.
The EndoAssist of Armstrong Healthcare, High Wycombe, United Kingdom and the AESOP (Automated Endoscope System for Optimal Positioning) of Computer Motion, Goleta, CA, United States, were tem­porarily successful on the market.
The EndoAssist (Armstrong Healthcare) was a free-standing unit (not attached to the OR table) with a curved camera driver (
Fig. 10.5A).
Unique in its kind was the steering approach: Movement was exe­cuted by a head-mounted infrared emitter. The sensor which receives the signals is placed above the surgical monitor and translates the head

movements into adequate movements of the camera (Fig. 10.5B). A foot clutch ensured that there was no unintended change of position if they were not conceived by the surgeon.
Whenever the operating table was moved, the device had to be aligned which was a major drawback of the design.
The device had an arc of pan of 350˚. Tilt was from 45˚ below the horizon to 90˚ vertically and allowed a zoom of 300 mm
Though some clinical experience is available
[2].
[3] it did not become
really popular, supposedly because of the difficult handling.
The EndoAssist has now been replaced by the second generation cam­era holder FreeHand (Prosurgics, Cambridge, United Kingdom).
It is more compact, easier to set up and use, and substantially more affordable than its predecessor (
Fig. 10.6).
The camera holder is now attached to the rail of the OR bed. It con­sists of the electronic control box, a lockable articulating arm, and the motor unit mounted to the fixating arm.
The system provides hands-free control of pan, tilt, and zoom. Movement of the camera is controlled by head-movements similar to that of the former EndoAssist. The surgeon carries a small, lightweight headset. An infrared transmitter in the headset sends a signal to an indicator unit mounted in a line-of-sight position on the monitor. When the desired direction of movement is selected, an array of light-emitting diodes in the indicator unit confirms the selected direction in the shape of an arrow.
