3P1-C01 Three-dimensional fundus blood vessel model for evaluation of system to assistant vitreoretinal surgery(Medical Robotics and Mechatronics (2))

Abstract

As a new treatment for retinal vein occlusion that vein of the retina is to close, microcannulation has been used in eye surgery. Microcannulation is a treatment to approach the fundus by inserting a micropipette from the surface of the eye, injecting directly thrombolytic drugs retinal vein is occluded. Because microcannulation is very difficult surgery even for experienced doctors, robotic system for vitretinal surgery has been developed. However, the system has not been fully evaluated. Therefore, my research performs the fabrication of micro-vessel model imitate the surface shape of retinal vein and have a cross-section of the semicircular for evaluation of some microsurgical robotic systems to assistant vitreoretinal surgery.
