Abstract
Surgical methods and devices that facilitate anatomical resection are disclosed. In some examples, a surgical resection device is disclosed that includes a static housing and a resection tool coupled to the housing via a flexible gasket that allows relative motion between the static housing and resection tool. A motor is also coupled to the static housing and is configured to rotate the resection tool about a first axis. The surgical resection device also includes two linear actuators disposed within a handle and coupled to the static housing via respective pinned linkages. The actuators are independently drivable to translate the resection tool within a second axis and rotate the resection tool about a third axis. A surgical computing device can track the surgical resection device, drive the motor and actuators to align the resection tool with a resection plane determined preoperatively, and control a position and speed of the resection tool.
