Abstract:

In ophthalmology, medical robot surgery systems are mainly used in corneal transplantation, vitrectomy, retinal surgery, etc. For corneal transplantation, it can complete the two major steps of corneal drilling and suturing. In vitreoretinal surgery, it may involve in laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy and vitreous posterior detachment surgery, retinal surface foreign body removal and retinal vessel intubation and so on. In recent years, robotic systems have made breakthroughs in assisting cataract surgery.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2018, 42:  213-216)
