Abstract
The field of traumatic hemostasis is currently confronted with numerous challenges, particularly in addressing the treatment of non-compressible torso hemorrhage(NCTH), where conventional hemostatic methods have limited efficacy. Endovascular intervention holds promise for NCTH, but its application in trauma care is hampered by a shortage of specialized personnel, stringent equipment requirements, and lengthy preoperative preparation times, which fail to meet the urgent hemostasis needs of NCTH patients. In recent years, the rapid development of vascular interventional robotic surgery systems, with a continuous influx of new products both domestically and internationally, has shown potential. These systems, equipped with autonomous navigation capabilities, can swiftly and accurately plan surgical routes. Their precise pressure sensing systems, coupled with high-precision mechanical arms and advanced control systems, are set to enhance the precision and safety of surgical procedures. Looking forward, the integration of interventional robots with other methods such as angioscopy is anticipated to surpass the limitations of traditional interventional approaches. This synergy is expected to unlock significant potential, especially in the critical field of emergency trauma hemostasis.
