ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To construct a quantitative evaluation system for hand tremor during internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and investigate changes in hand tremor attributable to the use of the customized passive surgical support robot.METHODS:
This analytical and experimental study developed a hand tremor evaluation system that synchronizes three elements surgical microscope images, an artificial eye module with a force sensor to simulate ILM peeling, and microforceps with an inertial measurement unit. Two surgeons used this system to measure hand tremor during ILM peeling with and without the robot.RESULTS:
The horizontal, vertical, and combined vertical and horizontal components of hand tremor were 8.1 ± 6.1, 1.7 ± 1.8, and 8.5 ± 6.2 mG, respectively, in the no robot group. These components decreased to 7.2 ± 6.0, 1.5 ± 1.7, and 7.5 ± 6.1 mG, respectively, in the robot group. In particular, hand tremor was significantly suppressed by 11.9% for the horizontal component using the robot (p = 0.0006).CONCLUSION:
The newly constructed system helps to quantitatively evaluate hand tremor during ILM peeling. The customized passive surgical support robot enables to decrease hand tremor during ILM peeling.
