Abstract

Surgeons are trying to achieve higher qualities in minimally invasive operation. With the growth of modern technology, intelligent medical equipments are used to improve operation safety. Milling through the bone tissue wall is a common abnormal milling state in ear surgery, which will do harm to the patient’s encephalic tissues. To avoid this kind of accident, some methods were researched by engineers or surgeons, and this paper presents a new method for identifying this kind of abnormal milling state. Five surgeons were invited to perform experiments on calvarian bones. The average recognition rate for otological drill milling through a bone tissue wall was 93%, whereas only 2% of the normal millings were identified as abnormal states by error.
