Surgical navigation system
A surgical navigation system according to one embodiment may comprise: an electromagnetic wave generation unit; a first detection unit attached to a surgical site of an object to detect a position attached to the surgical site; a second detection unit installed in a patient-specific surgical guide instrument inserted into the surgical site to receive the electromagnetic wave and detect the position of the patient-specific surgical guide instrument; a third detection unit installed in the surgical instrument inserted into the surgical site to detect the position of the surgical instrument; an information processing unit for registering the position of the first detection unit and the position of the third detection unit and for tracking the position of the surgical instrument on the basis of the position of the first detection unit attached to the surgical site, by setting the position of the patient-specific surgical guide instrument as a reference position when the patient-specific surgical guide instrument is inserted into the surgical site; and a display unit for displaying information including the positions of the object and the patient-specific surgical guide instrument and the position of the surgical instrument.
1. A surgical navigation system, comprising:
an electromagnetic wave generator;
a first detector attached to a surgical site of an object at a first position and configured to detect the first position of the surgical site;
a second detector installed in a patient-specific instrument (PSI) which is to be inserted into the surgical site, and configured to receive an electromagnetic wave for detecting a position of the PSI;
a third detector installed in a surgical instrument which is to be inserted into the surgical site and configured to detect a position of the surgical instrument;
an information processor configured to register a position of the first detector and a position of the third detector by setting, as a reference position, a position of the PSI being inserted in the surgical site prior to performing surgery with the surgical instrument, and to track a position of the surgical instrument during a surgical operation after the PSI has been removed from the surgical site based on a position of the first detector attached to the surgical site; and
a display configured to display information including information associated with a position of the object, a position of the PSI, and a position of the surgical instrument.
2. The surgical navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the information processor is further configured to set an insertion path of the surgical instrument along which the surgical instrument is inserted into the surgical site, and
the display is further configured to display, on a three-dimensional (3D) object model, the insertion path of the surgical instrument.
3. The surgical navigation system of claim 2 , wherein the surgical instrument comprises a reamer to be inserted into the surgical site,
wherein the information processor is configured to set an axis for reaming to be performed by the reamer which is to be inserted into the surgical site of the object.
4. The surgical navigation system of claim 2 , wherein the surgical instrument comprises a box chisel, a test femoral stem, and a femoral stem, which are to be inserted into the surgical site,
wherein the information processor is configured to set an insertion axis of the box chisel, the test femoral stem, and the femoral stem to be inserted into the object.
5. The surgical navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the first detector comprises an inertial sensor to indicate a position of the surgical site of the object,
the second detector comprises an electromagnetic sensor to indicate a position of the PSI, and
the third detector comprises an inertial sensor to indicate a position of the surgical instrument.
6. The surgical navigation system of claim 5 , wherein the second detector is removed along with the PSI when the PSI is removed from the surgical site of the object.
7. The surgical navigation system of claim 1 , wherein, when the PSI is inserted in the surgical site of the object, the information processor is configured to match coordinates of a 3D object model and coordinates of the object.
8. The surgical navigation system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a capturer configured to obtain an image of the object in real time,
wherein the display is configured to display the image of the object, and an insertion path of the surgical instrument on the image of the object.
9. The surgical navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the PSI is a customized instrument manufactured according to a three-dimensional (3D) object model of a patient to have a shape that is complementary to a shape of an anatomical area of the patient.
10. The surgical navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the information processor is configured to perform a registration between the reference position of the PSI when it is inserted in the surgical site and a three-dimensional (3D) object model of a patient.
