Abstract：
Cutting of biological tissues is the most frequently performed procedure in surgery. Ultrasonic cutting has gained increasing attraction and application for biological tissues dissection, ablation or removal in medical surgery. These surgical processes for ultrasonic cutting of specific tissue type exhibit distinct differences not only in action mechanisms but also in ultrasonic surgical devices. We review the related studies and techniques for ultrasound in medicine (Table 1), particularly for ultrasonic dissection of soft and hard tissues in surgery to facilitate understanding of the surgical machining processes, tool solution and removal damage mechanisms for biological tissues. Ultrasonic dissection of soft tissues classified into focused ultrasound, ultrasonic cutting and hemostasis, ultrasonic aspiration and ultrasonic thrombolysis is summarized based on different action mechanisms and application requirements. Traditional cutting and ultrasonic cutting for hard-tissue bone is also considered to evaluate the advances and limitations of ultrasonic cutting for small-volume bone cutting surgery. Furthermore, the newly developed investigations on ultrasonic-assisted cutting of bone have been reviewed to explore the solution strategies for high-efficiency mass-bone cutting surgery. Challenges and future research trends are proposed for improving functionality and extending application of ultrasonic cutting of biological tissues in medicine.
Finally, we present our newly designed rotary ultrasonic-assisted dental handpiece for tooth preparation and prosthesis adjustment with significant reduction in cutting force and edge chipping damage. Our research has proved the feasibility of applying the ultrasonic-assisted machining technique for hard-tissue cutting surgery where edge chipping and cutting efficiency has been a persistent technical challenge.
