Robotic Surgical System
4 Jan 24
The disclosure relates to a robotic surgical system for treating an anatomical structure (B1), comprising: —a base (10) configured to be handheld by a user, —an end effector (13) holding a surgical tool (2), —an actuation unit (12) coupled to the end effector, configured to move the end effector relative to the base, —a tracking unit (3) configured to determine in real time a position of the surgical tool with respect to a coordinate system of the anatomical structure, —a control unit (6) coupled to the tracking unit and to the actuation unit, the control unit being configured to: # compute a path of the tool (2) to remove a planned volume of the anatomical structure, and # control the actuation unit to move the surgical tool according to the computed path to burr the planned volume, wherein the control unit is configured to determine an external surface (S) of the anatomical structure (B1) to be treated and to compute the tool path such that the surgical tool remains under said external surface (S) during treatment of the planned volume so as to avoid any contact of the surgical tool with another anatomical structure (B2).
