Simulation Study on the Influence of Drilling Parameters on the Temperature of Skull Drilling

Abstract

Skull drilling is an important and difficult process in neurosurgical craniotomy, which will inevitably produce a lot of heat. Correct understanding of the heat production law of skull drilling has important guiding significance for craniotomy robot. In this study, cortical bone and cancellous bone were layered to establish models according to the 3D reconstruction data of skull. The finite element method based on ABAQUS is used to establish the skull drilling model and realize the simulation of bone tissue surgical instrument interaction state for surgical robot. The results show that when the drill rotation speed and feed speed increase, the drilling temperature will also increase, but the drill rotation speed will have a more significant effect on bone drilling temperature, and when the drill rotation speed is low (300r/min, 600r/min), the drill bit diameter has little effect on the drilling temperature, but when the drill rotation speed is higher (900r/min, 1200r/min), the larger diameter drill bit(11mm) will produce more drilling heat.
