我国首例机器人骨科手术圆满成功

Tianji, a surgical robot, performs an orthopedic operation on a patient at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in Hefei, Anhui province, Jan 3, 2018. Tianji is China’s third-generation homegrown orthopedic surgical robot and the world’s first robot to perform an operation on all sections of a spine, pelvis and limbs.

2018年1月3号，外科手术机器人“天玑”在安徽合肥的安徽医科大学第一附属医院病人进行骨科手术。“天玑”是中国第三代国产骨科手术机器人和全球首位能在整个脊柱、骨盆和四肢进行手术的机器人。

A patient suffering from numbness received robotic surgery in Anhui on Jan 3, marking the first instance of robotic surgery in China.

1月3日，一位得麻木症的病人在安徽接受了机器人手术，这标志着中国首例机器人手术的实现。

The 42-year-old Wang, with numbness in his legs and left hand, underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University lasting only half an hour, with a wound measuring only 1 centimeter that had limited bleeding. He was able to get up from bed the next day and recover within one week. This is faster than with regular surgery, where the general recovery duration could last two to three weeks due to the potential for more extensive bleeding.

这位42岁的王姓患者，他的双下肢和左手有麻木感，在安徽医科大学第一附属医院接受了手术，手术只持续了半小时，伤口只有1厘米，出血量很少。第二天他就能从床上起来，一周之内就能康复。这比常规手术要快得多，(常规手术)一般的恢复期可能会持续两到三周，因为可能会有更大面积的出血。

The robot Tinavi, or Tianji in Chinese, is the world’s only orthopedic robotic system that is able to carry out surgery on the extremities, pelvic fractures and the whole spinal segment (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral vertebrae).

国内的Tinavi(又名“天玑”)机器人是全球唯一能够进行四肢、骨盆骨折及整个脊柱部位(颈椎，胸椎，腰椎，骶椎)手术的骨科机器人系统。

The robot acts as an assistant to the surgeons. Compatible with multimodality imaging, its state-of-the-art planning software assists the surgeon to create comprehensive surgical blueprints for spine and trauma procedures.

这个机器人充当外科医生的助手。与多模态成像兼容，其最先进的规划软件协助外科医生为脊柱和创伤过程建立全面的外科蓝图。

The robot’s optical tracking system enables it to perform 3-D scanning and monitor the whole surgery process. Like GPS, it can also carry out real-time tracking to precisely position on the bones. Its robotic arm increases the consistency between surgical paths and planned trajectories.

该机器人的光学跟踪系统使其能够进行三维扫描，并监控整个手术过程。和GPS一样，它也能实时追踪骨骼上的位置。它的机械手臂增加了手术路径和计划轨迹的一致性。

The China-made robot costs 15 million yuan ($2.31 million).

该国产机器人价值1500万元(约合231万美元)。
