In recent decades, surgical robots have made great progress and are widely used in many clinical departments.It can eliminate the doctor's hands tremor, reducing postoperative complications and shortening the operation time due to the many advantages of robot such as stability, high precision and intelligence. Based on the huge economic benefits and good performance, the surgical robots have become a hot spot in the field of medicine and industry. Although no otologic robot has been approved for clinical use, many breakthroughs have been raised. This article reviewed the development of otologic robots in the past years and provided some ideas for future research.
近几十年来，手术机器人取得了长足的发展并广泛地应用于临床多个科室。手术机器人拥有稳定性好、精度高、智能化等特点，可避免手术过程中术者的手部震颤，减少术后并发症，缩短手术时间等，因此成为医工结合领域研究的热点，其巨大的经济效益和良好的性能越来越受到人们的关注。虽然目前尚无耳科手术机器人被批准用于临床，但仍然取得了很多突破。本文对近十几年来国内外有关耳科手术机器人的研发作一综述，以期为后续研究提供一些思路。.
