Disclosed herein is a surgical tool for debulking hard tissue. The surgical tool includes: (i) an elongated hollow member including a distally located bent section; (ii) a cable extending within the hollow member, along a predetermined length thereof; (iii) a headpiece positioned at, or distally to, the bent section; (iv) a rotation actuator coupled to the cable proximal end and configured to rotate the cable about a longitudinal axis thereof; and (v) a motion converter coupled to a distal end of the cable and to the headpiece, at least part of the motion converter is positioned in, and/or distally, to the bent section, the motion converter being configured to transform rotational motion of the cable into an axial, reciprocating motion of the headpiece. The headpiece is configured to break up hard tissue by hammering thereof, when effecting axial, reciprocating motion, while simultaneously minimizing damage to soft tissue if struck.

Abrégé

Disclosed herein is a surgical tool for debulking tissue including: a handle including a fluid inlet, an elongated member extending distally from the handle and including a distally located bent section and a chamber at least partially positioned distally to the bent section, a first lumen extending distally from the fluid inlet to the chamber, a piston assembly housed within the chamber and including a piston and a return mechanism, and a headpiece positioned distally to the chamber and motionally associated with the piston. The headpiece is configured to debulk tissue by striking thereof, when effecting axial, reciprocating motion. In operation, the chamber receives pressurized fluid, which is injected via the fluid- inlet. The fluid distally pushes the piston and the headpiece until the motions thereof are reversed by the return mechanism, such as to effect an axial, reciprocating motion of the headpiece.

Disclosed are robotic systems, surgical instruments for used therewith as well as methods of utilizing same in spinal decompression surgeries. The present disclosure generally relates to devices and methods for removing tissue from a body, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to methods and devices for minimally invasive removal of tissue from anatomically constrained sites without damaging surrounding non-targeted tissues, such as nerves. According to some embodiments, the robotic arm is a "master-slave"-type robotic arm, i.e. a robotic arm directly controlled by a human operator. According to some embodiments, the robotic arm is a remote-controlled robotic arm, i.e. a robotic arm controlled.
