机器人手术在头颈、耳鼻喉区域的发展现状

Development of robotic surgery in otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery

外科手术机器人具有优秀的可操作性,能为外科医生提供清晰的视野,辅助其在狭小的解剖空间内进行精准、微创的手术,在头颈、耳鼻喉区域具有强大的应用前景。相比于传统的开放手术,机器人手术避免了很多侵入性操作,能够降低手术对颌面部美观与功能的影响,改善患者术后生活质量。本文对近年来机器人手术技术在头颈、耳鼻喉外科的应用进行总结,归纳了在探索及实践过程中手术机器人存在的不足,并提出了未来可能的发展方向。

Surgical robots have superior operability, so they can provide surgeons with excellent vision, thereby enabling a precise and minimally invasive surgery in narrow anatomical spaces. Their application is widely described in otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery. In contrast to traditional methods, robotic surgery avoids more invasive procedures, consequently reducing the effects on esthetics and function. As a result, the postoperative life quality of patients improves. This article summarizes the application of robotic surgery in otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery in recent years, presents the shortcomings of surgical robots in exploration and practice, and proposes potential development directions.
