Robot‐Automated Cartilage Contouring for Complex Ear Reconstruction: A Cadaveric Study
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Auricular reconstruction requiring manual contouring of costal cartilage is complex and time consuming, which could be facilitated by a robot in a fast and precise manner. This feasibility study evaluates the accuracy and speed of robotic contouring of cadaver costal cartilage.
METHODS: An augmented robot with a spherical burr was used on cadaveric rib cartilage. Using a laser scanner, each rib section was converted to a …
