The design of ureteral renal interventional robot for diagnosis and treatment

Abstract

In the process of ureteral renal surgery, the surgeon needs to stand and hold ureteroscope for operation, which can easily make surgeon tired, decreasing the accuracy of surgeon’s operation, so master-slave mode of operation was adopted to develop ureteral minimally invasive surgical robot. Surgeon can sit in front of operational console and perform surgery, which can improve operation quality, alleviate, labor, intensity, and, at the same time, allow the surgeon to avoid X-ray damage with this technique. The magnetic navigation electronic element is integrated in self-developed ureteroscope to help surgeon with identification reduce the difficulty of surgery, and shorten operation time. When haemorrhage, causing the unclear vision, might happen during surgery, it is likely to flush with increasing pressure, but high stress can increase the risk of complications. Therefore, the development of pressure guide wire is helpful to monitor pressure and precaution the surgery to avoid complication.
